[QUOTE="RWE, post: 2120162, member: 20736"] Hello all, not sure where to put this but I thought that I would start here. Please let me know if another forum here would be beater. A buddy bought a TC Encore .50 cal muzzle loader to "help a guy out". He would like to buy a centerfire rifle barrel (300WM for some dang reason) to shoot "long range." We are working on that definition for him but for this discussion let's say to 1,000 yards and caliber doesn't matter right now. I did a quick google but old info, opinions did not seem "educated".... So, I thought I would bring this here as many of us start in one spot and end in others, having tried a lot of things. My question is to experienced folk - is the gun capable of precision or not? Is it worth buying the barrels or should he focus on a new gun altogether? He is trying to dive in to LR (relative) and I am trying to ease him in, starting with fundamentals. Someone told him the barrels and triggers aren't very good he is losing faith before he starts. Having said that, I already looked into the Mcarbo trigger kit. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
