eastern deer hunter Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I was looking to buy a new barrel for my tc encore pro hunter in 25-06 or 7mm-08 , but I have heard through a website Bellum TC's , that accuracy of the TC manufactured barrels maynot be that good. The sight suggested Bergara barrels which I found on their site and in Cabelas . If anyone could sort out this myth for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Idaho_ Elk_ Huntr Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 My few Pro Hunter barrels are as accurate as any gun I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthehuntinman Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 The tc prohunter I have you can cut wholes at 100 yrds with it. If people say they have a bad barrel that doesnt mean they all there will be a bad one somewhere along the line. Hope that your gun works out well for you and shoots how you want it too.

Idaho_ Elk_ Huntr Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I would guess fewer than 10% of shooters are capable of getting full accuracy out of a gun. But everyone is shooting MOA. Next trip to the range, try and pay attention to the targets other people are shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 I've used Mike Bellm's products and he's straight up about them. You can save money on barrels buying used or cosmetic seconds too. The TC's don't shoot the best. You can at least do a trigger job and replace the hinge pin and latch spring. Minimally resizing the cases helps too. Idaho_elk_huntr. You noticed too? You must be an honest man then. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterbobb Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I have an Encore barrel in 25-06 it shoots just fine. These aren't bench rest rifles.I'm sure yours will be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDHandgunner Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I have a new 24" Stainless-Steel .30-06 Bergara Barrel for my T/C Encore Rifle Frame. However I have not had the opportunity to shoot it as yet. It is currently at my gunsmiths getting the forend pillar bedded to a Stratton Custom Hanger Bar. Unfortunately for me my gunsmith didn't get it finished before he left for his Black Bear Hunting Trip to Northern Minnesota so I'll have to be patient and wait a couple more weeks to get to shoot it. With that said my gunsmith is a died in the wool T/C Encore fanatic. When I first showed him my Begara Barrel he examined it very closely. I told him to look it over really good as I was not able to find anything wrong with it. After he looked it over for a while he said he couldn't find anything wrong with it either, and that his next barrel will be a Bergara Barrel. I have shot T/C Contender Handguns since 1982. Over the years I have had way more than my share of T/C Factory Barrels and quite a few Custom Barrels also. In all honesty I have never found the T/C Factory Barrels to be lacking in accuracy. Granted it took a little load developement work to wring the best accuracy out of some, while others have shot good with most loads. The very best shooting T/C Contender Barrel that I have ever had just happened to be a couple of T/C Factory Barrels, both Super 14 Barrels, both Stainless-Steel, one a .22 LR Match and one a .223 Remington. I wouldn't be afraid to buy a T/C Factory Barrel, but also wanted to see for myself if all I have read about Bergara Barrels is true.
