hangunnr Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 This chambering is only available from a custom barrel maker. My barrel came from Coyote Guns located here in Indiana but any of the custom makers should be able to accommodate you. Prices for a custom tube can run from about $300 up to as much as you want to spend. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Prices for a custom tube can run from about $300 up to as much as you want to spend. Worth every penny once you've shot it a time or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 do they have a website that i could maybe order one from?i don't know of any custom makers around me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Coyote Guns dosen't have a website but you can give the owner a call and discuss your wants. Coyote Guns (260)691-2684 There are other makers out there such as SSK, Bullberry and MGM. I believe all have websites. Once you have an Encore PISTOL frame you can have some real stomper barrels made. Converting a rifle frame into a pistol is a legal no-no though. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 so once i get the frame, where i can get that at any cabelas, or bass pro shop, then i just need to talk to someone that makes or sells the barrels right, Is the encore frame a whole lot different than the contender pistols or are they similar?

hangunnr Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 The Encore frame is substantially stronger than the Contender or G2 frames. You can get the frame wherever you want. Just be sure to get one labled as a pistol. Just to let you know... Unless you handload you'll be spending anywhere from $100-$175 per box of 20 rounds for the 458WM. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 maybe it might be better than to just get a contender and put like a 300 mag barrel on it, having to spend 100 to 175 dollars is a little more than my budget will allow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 You'd have to go with a Encore for a belted mag cartridge like the 300WM. Here's my 300WM Encore, a good performer in a short barrel. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 If I might make a suggestion..... Starting out with a thumper like the ones mentioned above might just be too much of a good thing. I would suggest getting a Encore with a 308 Win or maybe a 30-06 barrel and getting used to shooting something of this power level. If you find yourself wanting more power you can then either order a custom barrel or have your 308 or 30-06 barrel rechambered up to 300WM. The barrel on my 300WM started life as a 308. FWIW.... hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 alright that sounds like a plan! i should be able to get the encore frame at any big sports store right. i like the look of your gun to by the way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
