[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2617723, member: 69192"] I just noticed your thread while looking for a Canadian outfitter on the eastern side of Canada. We are looking for a hunt that we can drive to. We black bear hunt Maine. I would strongly suggest the 35 Whelen with 225gr Barnes bullets, or the 45-70 with Barnes TSX FB bullets. I know that they make barrels chambered in 33-06, 35 Whelen and 45-70 for the Encore as I have had all three barrels on mine. I did like the 338-06 on the Contender, it was accurate and you didn't need a dentist after you were through shooting it. If you go to the "Encore Forum" online you may be able to find a used barrel on there. [/QUOTE]
