I agree that each Encore barrel has it's own personality. Some people like the Rochester N.H. barrels only and claim that the Springfield Ma. barrels are junk. You have to try them to find out. I have about 25 (all factory T.C.) and my two best shooters are Springfield s/s Pro Hunter 28" in 22-250 & 30-06. They will shoot cloverleaf groups all day long. I have three different receivers & use the Bellm oversized hinge pin. I sent all of my receivers to Steve Stratton to remove trigger creep and had him adjust the trigger pull to 2.5 lb. I highly recommend his hanger bar and forend modification setup for better accuracy.
