I just dropped a wad of cash for a stainles thumbhole hardwoods pro hunter encore. They were out of the 50 cal barrels or I would have gotten the pro hunter one right then.
Any way I got home and had a chance to cool off the wallet. I started to order a pro hunter barrel, then I tried to justify the 80 dollar price difference. I couldnt. Flutes? could care less. A couple of extra inches on the length? Not a big concern. Speed breech? heck ya I want that. I hate unscrewing my siezed up plug. And I think they have a rotating extractor too right?
Im really in a hate/love relationship with this pro hunter. I have always wanted a encore. Finally made the leap, but man this thing just keeps racking up the bill. My trigger finger turns white before the trigger breaks. 20.00 spring from Bellm on the way. I really liked the peep sight on the omega x7, that was 30 bucks, its on the way. I paid the extra 8 bucks or whatever for the pro hunter forend even though I got the regular encore barrel.
I guess I had to make a sacrifice somewhere, I aint made out of money, I figured the barrel was the best choice to skimp on.
