Why the loathing for TC barrels, I have yet to get a bad one on a Contender but I did get a bad Encore 243 barrel, they didn't run the finish reamer deep enough in the chamber. TC replaced it with a fine shooter for me.


I have had a couple that took an extensive break in period. One an icon and one on a Prohunter. Heavy fouling for the first 75 rounds. Visible tool marks etc. Once broke in however, these barrels do in fact shoot well.
