Default RE: What barrel ?

i would go for something in the 7mm cal or 30 cal

i have got a 7 mm-08 pistol barrel, 7mm mag barrel and a 260 rem

i also have a remington 700 in 7 mmSTW

you might want to try one of the new cal that are so popular the 7mm short mag or the 300wsm, or the old trusty 06

good luck let us know which barrel you end up with

the other mt

I'd probably go with the 30-06. IMHO, its the best all-around round for the deer and elk. The 7MM mag is also a great round for deer and elk, but in the Encore, the recoil can be a little rough.

For elk & deer? My choice would be the .300 Winchester.

I love Encore's...

270 will do a number on anyone of those animals. IMHO .300 is just over kill for deer, but it will sure drop them.
