20 Tactical barrel for Encore rifle
Does anyone have barrels yet for the Encore in 20 TAC?

I think this will be my choice, over the 204 Ruger!
What I want is a 26 inch, Tapered, Matte finish barrel!

Thanks in advance for your replies!

I'm not a Encore shooter but I'm guessing Bullberry either makes em or could make em. Great barrels from what I hear. If they don't try Virgin Valley I've heard their stuff is top notch also. You'll love the Tact.20. I've got a Pac-Nor super match 3 groove, they claim 3 groove barrels are easier to clean, (they are!) and the wider rifling holds up better and lasts longer,(we'll see!), very accurate, good price also. I don't know if any one uses Pac-Nor for Encores. Keep us posted.

Chuck, just went to Virgin Valley, they do indeed make a Tactical .20 . If your thinking about the 40 grainers (Hornady is coming out with a 40 grain V-Max, Berger makes 40's as well as all the neat customs) make sure you get the 1 in 12 twist. 1 in 13's a little faster with the 33 35 grainers but won't stabalize the heavier bullets as well.
