I may be jumping in here a little late,...owning 4 prohunters, let's just say I'm a fan!
I've got, in Thompson barrels, a 6br, .308, 25-06, .204 and two .50 cal front stuffers,..all of which shoot sub moa (yes, even the muzzleloaders) and recently got two barrels from MGM in 6.5x47 and 17 Hornet,..both definitely have a slight edge in accuracy and fit over the factory barrels, but are significantly more expensive. Pay attention to your cheek weld and forearm placement on the front rest when you bench shoot and fiddle around with your loads until ya find what the barrel likes,...and you'll do fine. Do I have my share of bolt guns that will shoot better groups on the bench? Yep....do my Encores still land up getting 75% of the field time every season.....yep!
