RE: Bergara barrels for Encore?????
If I were in need of an Encore barrel, might consider one. Made in Spain doesn't equate to junk - the Spaniards have made some of the finest firearms in the world.
You should, however, consider the difference in price between these "barrels-only" and a complete rifle sold at retail for $69 in a chain store. Price certainly does not equate to quality but there are limits to that situation.
