[QUOTE="AceRoth, post: 944016, member: 41363"] The nef/h&rs are getting a bad rap here but they're good for what they are - cheap single shot switchbarrels. They are finicky but you can usually get them to shoot pretty good (under an inch for sure) with some patience. T/Cs are better made for sure but more expensive. My TC is as finicky as my h&r but when you make the TC happy it definitely shoots better. I have an 18" 30-06 barrel for my TC thats the same the concept you're going for that I really like as a backpack rifle. I wouldnt take it on a trophy hunt but it is a good trail gun. Also, if you are not too worried about cost you can get custom barrels for TCs that shoot lights out in any caliber, profile, steel you want. MGM makes good ones but so do a lot of other makers. Check out graybeards outdoors' h&r and TC forums. There's a board called encoreclassifieds that is good for encore barrels/frames/parts too. Some of the guys on the graybeard h&r board are nuts but they are very knowledgeable and helpful. Not sure if h&r ever made a stainless 25-06 but someone there will know and probably have one to sell you. [/QUOTE]
