Mr. Lynch I am not familiar with your work, but I respect what you say.

I guess I only have a couple of questions. First you said in the past few years Bergera has come around to producing a better product. So that implies that their product prior to this "few years" might have been inferior?? So in your opinion does this denote a track record?? Or not??

Secondly you say the bore on the TC needs a good lapping?? That may be true. However I lap every barrel I buy(except one Krieger). But wouldn't shooting the barrel for a couple hundred shots do the same thing??

I am a big fan of the Encore. But not the Encore MZ. And I will admit that most of my Encore rifle barrels are MGM. But I have a few TC factory barrels.

My question is this. Do you honestly believe the Bergera barrel shoots so much better than a TC barrel that it is worth ignoring the Bergera track record?? And it out shoots the TC barrel so much that it replaces the customer service of TC?? Tom.
