I have an Encore stubbed barrel in .25 X .307, the barrel is a Pac Nor, it is a very accurate piece.

 

 

L to R, .307 case, fire formed .25 X .307, . 243 case for comparison.

I sent a Handi in .357 Mag to David.  He did a trigger job, reamed the chamber to .357 MAX and trimmed the barrel back to 16 1/2 inches.  It is very accurate and walks on a .35 Remington out to 200 yards.  With full pressure loads, it will blow away chronographs two lanes in both directions on the range.

Who did the work on this?  Some of our members might be interested in a dissertation on why a rimmed cartridge works better than rimless on single shots.  You sure went to a lot of trouble to get a single shot 25-06, LOL.  Some folks are rechambering .30-30 and .308 single shot rifles to 7.62X54 Russian to get the functional equivalent of a 30-06 in a rimmed cartridge.

 

Great looking rifle, I know you are proud of it.
