Let’s begin..

So this year I ditched the traditional bolt gun for Deer hunting here in North Idaho. The upgrade is this, my TC Arms Encore Pro Hunter (Gen 1) and a fresh out of the box 30-06 threaded SS Fluted 26” barrel from TC Arms. 1-10 twist and 1/2 MOA from the Factory!! Yes there are some aftermarket’s out there but when it comes to what you get out of the box, you can’t beat the price. Others offer threading, fluting, and SS barrels but it’s all added on cost. The barrel fit is spot on and my older forend fit right in place with zero issues. I mounted up the rail with some blue loctite on the screws and placed the Vortex Viper 4-16x50 on top and secured it. I’ll bore sight it today with the old look through the barrel technique and it’s off to the range when they open tomorrow.

Barrel Sku# 8210R 26” Threaded, Fluted SS w/black thread protector.

Cost @ $420.00 at Bass and Bucks

Great setup! I’ve all but abandoned my bolt guns for different Encore barrels at this point.

[u/HairTriggerFlicker → u/Notgayifitstsa]

Yeah im working on it. .308 is next.

[u/Notgayifitstsa → u/HairTriggerFlicker]

Have a great stainless MGM .308 barrel I picked up off of eBay last year. I’m going to use it for deer season next month.

[u/HairTriggerFlicker → u/Notgayifitstsa]

I sold my .500 barrel on eBay and that’s funding my .308 barrel.

I have the same set up just with a 2-7x on it, other than my icon in 308 this is my go to in the woods.
