kooter Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I am thinking of buying this barrel for my Encore. Would it be better in the 24" or the 26". They have them at midsouthshooters.com for the same price, but which would be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Re: 22-250 I prefer longer barrels.The overall length is not that much longer and since the receiver on the Encore is so much shorter than a bolt gun, the difference will not be that big of a deal. The extra velocity of 2 more inches is always welcome. It also moves blast farther away from shooter and the added weight cuts recoil.

kooter Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Re: 22-250 another question. does the forearm piece that i bought for the 25-06 regular barrel fit the heavy barrels? I haven't seen any forearms that say heavy barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Re: 22-250 I personallt would bye the 26" barrel. I just bought a .223 barrel for my Encore, and I bought the 26" heavy barrel. Haven't gotten to shoot it yet. I also like the fact that the 26" barrel comes with out sights. It is just cleaner looking. As for the forened, they are the same for both the 24", and the 26" barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
