While following the recent QLA thread I was reminded of a T/C Encore that I've had problems with.
To make a long story shorter, in order to sight this rifle in with a scope I needed to use a Weaver medium heighth ring in the front and a high in the back. Even with this the elevation screw is almost bottomed out. (And it looks like heck) Tried a different scope with the same result. Checked the base and it's correct. After reading the above mentioned thread I looked at the muzzle and couldn't see anything out of line in the QLA. Miked the barrel thickness, with a modified tubing mike, about 1/4" down in the QLA and came up with a thickness of .185" to .187" while going all the way around the muzzle. I was simply going to replace this barrel at some point in time but now I'm thinking about running it down to my gunsmith and having him shorten the barrel enough to remove the QLA and recrown. I'd appreciate any thoughts/suggestions.
