I have been messing around with T/C Contenders since 1971. I bought my first Encore in 1998. I have had a LOT of barrels and acessories in those many years and have only had 2 factory barrels and 1 custom barrel that have been problematic and not up to my expectations. Thats a pretty good track record I think.I only have one bolt gun that is significantly more accurate than my contenders and it is a Savage. I have curently 9 Encore tubes and 17 contender barrels. I guess I kinda like the things. Some folks call it a sickness this Contenderitis
