I bought a new Encore 209x50 about 3 weeks ago. Finally got out to the range to try it out last week. I was shooting Hornady SST's and T7. Accuracy wasn't there and I wasn't too happy. When I got home to clean it I thought the bore felt a little rough. I took my Chief's Pro Clean and attempted to run it down the bore. It stopped DEAD at the second band that holds the ram rod. It would not go on down the barrel easily. I looked down the barrel and it appears that the threaded hole that holds the ram rod holder on was drilled a little too deep and bulged inward. I shipped it back to T/C this morning. This is my first dealing with T/C customer service, I hope they live up to their good reputation. Anybody ever see this situation before?
