I was looking for an extra barrel for my FA2008

It would be lots of trouble to get a not catalogued caliber although Bob would probably give it a try as long as I paid the piper. I was looking at a factory caliber, Gary said the 9.3X74R was salty! But it should have about the same performance as Gary's .366 GNR.

You can't take extra barrels to Africa?! Might as well rig out a take along second Encore rig. The 9.3X62 has no rim, a downer for me. I already have a .378 GNR and that is so good it's hard to justify another. The .338 GNR would be hard to disregard though. I would relish a tapered tube 16" again. Bob makes the FA2008 in .338 Federal which is a great factory handgun caliber but rimless too. A FA barrel kit with snazzy scope mount, ported, costs about what a whole Encore gun does. So thinking out loud helps! lol
