Hey guys,
I've got a 250 Savage Encore factory barrel that shoots pretty good, but I just have a sneaking suspicion it would shoot better w/ a hanger bar setup like I use on all my Contender barrels.

In addition, I'd like to be able to use my Bullberry Encore forend w/ the Savage barrel as I'm partial to using a sling carry and this forend has a swivel stud. The BB barrel uses a Contender type hanger bar. I called BB today, but they don't offer a ready made hanger bar for Encore factory barrels; I'd have to send the barrel in for a few wks and $35. Can't do that now as deer season is just starting.

I thought I'd read that VVCG has such a hanger bar, but havent' been able to contact them by phone despite many calls.

I realize they're going out of business, as well. Looked at their products on the Midway site, but didn't see any hanger bars.
Guess I could take a Pachmayr hanger bar for a Contender and adapt it to the Encore, but thought I'd first check w/ y'all as surely someone else has tried this before me...

Thanks for your help, Gary T.
