I'm steadily talking myself into a 6.5 grendel barrel for my encore. I have a couple other calibers from match grade machine that I'm pretty happy with but I was looking at the SSK offerings as well. SSK has their hunter grade barrels for a couple hundred dollars less and I'm wondering if any one has experience with one of these. If you have one what do you think of it?
When I asked SSK they said the hunter grade is a mass produced blank and the premium grade is a Douglas blank. For the money I will probably go for MGM before SSK premium. It would mostly be for range use and plinking and I'm currently leaning towards a 24" or 26" since my plans for this one do not involve a whole lot of carrying around. Anyone got thoughts, opinions, or preferences between the various encore/ contender barrel makers?
