I bought an encore with a 223 barrel for varmits and figured it would be cool to have a heavier calibre. As light as the rifle is though I think the 308 would be a great choice. Before e-bay quit allowing barrels to be sold there was an ad for a 405 barrel on there. The add stated that it was shot only 4 times the last 3 shots were just to make sure they hurt as bad as the first. lol

hope you find what your looking for.
