Thompson Center Encore rifle.
 

This past fall I bought a T/C Encore stainless 209x50 and just love it. Was thinking about getting another barrel for this rifle. Maybe a 270 Winchester. Do any of you folks out there have multiple barrels for your Encore? How do you like them? Thanks for your time.

got a best friend with one. He elected to order barrels from Bullberry and let me tell ya, it shoots like a match gun. He has a 270 barrel for sale right now that he got from T/C.

I have the 209X45, 308, 22-250 and the 12ga turkey barrel and I'm very satisfied with them all. One of the best things I done, was send my frame to EABCO and had an action job done on it. Its been the best $40 I've ever spent.

these encores seem to be top notch !!

unfortunatly i will have to wait to buy one untill i move to maine. since my old C.V.A is in rough condition.plus that i need a LTC to own one. i like the idea of ust buying a new barrel than a new gun. will be alot easier to talk the wife into buying a new barell than a enitirely new gun.

I have a few.I want one about 28"-30" long, Bull Barrel in the Lazzeroni Warbird caliber .I don't know if one of the companys will make one or not.:D

I believe the Lazzeroni's just like the WSM calibers have too much bolt thrust to be chambered in the TC Encore. You can read a little about this on eabco.com. These guys make Encore barrels in a lot of calibers that TC doesn't. They don't make them in WSM chamberings because of the thrust issue. You cannot get the Remington ultra mags either. You have to choose between the 300 Win. mag or the 300 Weatherby.

I respect this system so much, I have thinned out other rifles I wouldn't use because of the accuracy and the versitility of the Encore.
T/C does a great job with their workmanship and customer service. Hopefully the first precludes the need for the second.
This year I am thinking of the 12ga. vent rib bbl for trap shooting.:eek:

Swamdog and superpig, you may want to check out www.virginvalleyguns.com The Warbird is not listed, but there are several other offerings from Lazzeroni for the Encore.

T/C Ean, Thanks If I go that route I guess I have to settle with the Lazzeroni "SCRAMJET"It is the Baddest you can stuff in an Encore..257( .85 grain) muzzle 4000 f.p.s..................drop 5.7 @ 400 yds.Sounds like fun to me......:D

Swampdog, if you're wanting something based on the 308, they do offer the Patriot. Its not as bad as the Warbird, but it may be worth a look.

RE: Thompson Center Encore rifle.
 

T/C, Yeah I checked out that one also Spitfire,Scramjet,PhantomTomahawk,Patriot Galaxy,Maverick) I'm Just looking to do unusual stuff.Give the boys around here a speed rush.........LOL That .25 is about the fastest I can get in the Encore and not spend $4000 for the Lazzeroni.

Oh Yeah,Didn't Kenny Jarret make some pretty speedy stuf like the Jay bird And the Catbird.Hmmmmmm ..................I wonder:eek:;)
