RE: Does anyone own Encore barrels??
I've heard of others with the hinge pin problem... As for me, I own the 50 Cal Muzzy, .243 & .280 barrels and they all shoot well. They are not as tight of groups as I get out of some of my other guns but they certainly are good enough for deer hunting. The one modification I made was to have the trigger worked on. The factory trigger had plenty of creep and was too heavy for my taste. All in all it's a great setup IMO.
