I have another Stainless Encore with green-gray laminate stock set with a Stainless match Virgin Valley 25-06 bull barrel with compensater and hanger bar. Don't have any pics of it loaded up but it feels like shooting a .22 as far as recoil.Both barrels are sub MOA.

My Bellm 300 H&H barrel...
Would not do this one again, it was an impulse buy.
Just don't like the way it balances, or the way the Encore
loads/unloads with a belted case.

Jeff,

What is the barrel diameter at the muzzle. Just curious if MGM just uses a standard sporter contour or had to increase the barrel diameter for the .358 bore size?

Doc, it fits fine in the "standard" TC tapered barrel fore end,
but to know for sure I'll try to throw a caliper on the muzzle when I get home tonight.

Here are a couple of nice Encore rifles. The first is a 224 Virgin Valley barrel sitting in a Virgin Valley LH stock.

A combination of Virgin Valley, MGM and Bullberry wood and barrels. Even a Contender with the Encores. Have sold most of the barrels and wood but they were all great shooters.

I failed to put the correct caliber designation. It's the 224 TTH or 223-6MM.
