Thompson Center Arms ProHunter Rifled Barrel Features The Thompson Center Arms ProHunter Rifled Barrel is chambered for 3-inch 20 gauge shells giving it the versatility to run a broad range of slug loads for hunting big game at typical shotgun slug ranges. Its rifled bore with a 1:24 twist rate is matched to sabot slug ammunition helping stabilize the projectile for improved downrange accuracy. The fluted barrel profile reduces weight while adding surface area for heat dissipation keeping the barrel more manageable to carry through the field. Finished in matte blued steel the barrel resists glare and holds up to the rigors of hunting conditions. Built for the Encore modular system this barrel swaps onto a compatible Encore frame in seconds letting one receiver serve multiple hunting roles across seasons. Thompson Center s ENCORE line is known for this flexibility spanning rifle shotgun and muzzleloader calibers on a single platform. Adding a dedicated slug barrel like this one lets hunters tailor their Encore setup specifically for shotgun seasons without purchasing an entirely new firearm. It reflects Thompson Center s reputation as a trusted name in modular hunting firearms.
