[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 132087, member: 8843"] Bullberry makes them and so does the guys that used to run Virgen Valley , not sure what they are calling themselves now but they make a fluted barrel. Its hard to convience Fred at Bullberry that you "need" a 300 mag but he'll make one. Any reason your going with a 24" barrel ? Not to many guys wll flute the Encore barrels to deep , I assume because they get them finished just ad the lug to it and fluting them might cause accuracy problems if the cuts are deep . I have a 300 mag barrel 26" full bull from TC custom shop and honestly it realy ain't no fun to shoot , the stock shape on the factory Encores are not setup to handel heavy recoil so they tend to pass it all along to to. If you dead set on having a barrel made to your specs you can order the balnk from a barrel maker contured and fluted then have the lug welded on and chambered , this will probably be a very costly route and you'll have to do alot of talking to the Encore barrel makers to get them to agree but its a choice. Also Mike Bellm makes Encore barrels you could get with him and see what he has to say and if he can point you in the right direction. [url="http://www.bellmtcs.com"]www.bellmtcs.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
