i have a stainless encore with a t/c custom shop 24" .280rem with muzzle brake and a bushnell 2.5-10X40. veryu happy with the rifle and scope. i just ordered a nikon monarch 6.5-20X44 and i'm planning on getting a 22-250 heavy barrel, not sure if i'm gonna go factory or custom on it, and do the usual tricks, oversized hinge pin, etc etc. with the 280 it shoots moa and that is perfect for me shooting out to 300 on pa whitetails. would like to achieve sub moa with the 22-250 so i got some work to do. i am switching back to wood furniture also, would like to go with a nice thumbhole, more than likely laminates
