Encore Barrel or new rifle?
I want to get a .243 barrel for my Encore, I will have around $200. into the barrel and another $50. for the forend. not bad but I could get a Savage mod 10-16 in .243 for about $100. more. ( I can get them at dealer cost) What to do? I keep hearing of the barrel pin in the Encores slopping out and causing an inaccurate gun. Mine is tight and shoots well right now, with the ML barrel. I would just hate to buy the TC barrel and have a problem down the road with this so called pin problem.
