MGM T/C Encore .358 Winchester SS 23" Barrel

This barrel started out life as a .338 Federal and was sent off to JES and rebored to a .358 Winchester. The barrel is 23" long, 1:12 twist with 3-groove rifling. Crown, rifling, and chamber are in excellent condition and there are typical marks from the operation of an Encore frame. Barrel shoots RCBS 200 FN cast bullets, 200 gr. Hornady SP and Speer 220 gr. Hot Core bullets very nicely – this is a 250 yd. shooter!
I have not purchased "store-bought" ammo for any rifles or handguns in 25+ years so I have no idea how it will handle factory ammo. Includes Tally 30mm ring/base. $375.00 + S&H in US 48 ONLY.

"pacer56 - Do you have target pictures?"

No, I can't say that I do. But with jacketed bullets(Hornady, Sierra, and Speer) it will shoot 1 1/4" or less 5-shot groups at 100yds. With the cast lead 200gr. RCBS it was a 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" shooter. I have load data for all loads that I used in the barrel. It has been a great open woods/treestand rifle and caliber, just a real hammer!!! The reason why I'm selling it is I have decided that I want to build a .358 bolt action rifle now on a donor action I have and will be using this barrel to help fund the cause. Let me know if you need any further information. Thank you.
