Well, after all this talk of 7-08s on this board, I decided to give one a try myself. So I bought myself a Pro Hunter barrel for my Encore with some cash I had laying around since selling one of my 357s.
I bought it from Eabco. Great place to do business with, had it in 3 days on my doorstep. Topped it off with a Nikon 4.5-14x40 that I have laying around, got a bunch of loading stuff from Midway today as well. I did buy the cheapest box of bullets I could find for it at Cabelas on Friday. Going to do the initial zeroing with them. Will post up how she shoots for sure.
