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.

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.

RE: Thompson Center Encore rifle.
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 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.

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......
