[QUOTE="LukeMc, post: 1502341, member: 33724"] I own a T/C Encore in 300WM I have followed the recommendations at Bellum TC. I think they are great. I would send in my barrel to get the throat checked a muzzle break put on and get the barrel shortened as he suggests, but I live in Canada and for some terrible reason customs freaks out with anything firearm related. So they don't ship to Can. I did pillar bed the forend and did the 1x pin and new springs, headspace check... trigger is 2.5lbs I have outstanding first shot accuracy, but grouping 1"-1 1/4" at a hundred yards??? But under 3" at 300yds.(go figure?) I have my rifle sighted in at 2" high at 100yds and it then shoots 3" low at three hundred with the same hold. I am shooting 180grs. at 3100 fps. So if I put My crosshair on the boileroom any where out to 300yds it is dead deer, Moose, whatever. I gave up on punching paper with my .300 WM and just enjoy it as a great light hunting rifle that I can count on, One shot one kill. I take a few shots out to three hundred yds just before hunting season, then put a piece of black tape over the barrel so nothing can get down the barrel and hunt with confidence. I shot a nice 9 point that weighed over 200 lbs. dressed, at 110yds. One shot one kill every time. [/QUOTE]
