[QUOTE="MSLRHunter, post: 389292, member: 20566"] Accuracy from a factory encore barrel is just like accuracy from any factory rifle. Sometimes you get a good one that will shoot and sometimes you don't. I have had one factory encore heavy barrel in 7mmRemMag and it did not shoot well at all. I now have a Bullberry custom barrel works encore barrel also in 7mmRemMag and it shoots great with berger bullets and accubonds. In my humble opinion, if you want to shoot an encore, go with one of the custom encores such as Bullberry, Bergara, etc. They make a good barrel, but the Bullberry for example uses what they call a "forearm hanger system" which is as close as an encore can get to a free floated barrel. So, to finally answer your question, the best way to consistently get good accuracy from an encore is to invest a little more money and get a Bullberry custom barrel and their forearm hanger system. Mix that with some quality handloads and it should be a real shooter. [/QUOTE]
