Thompson Center Encore ProHunter Barrel Features The Thompson Center Arms Encore ProHunter Barrel is chambered in .308 Win and built as a direct-fit replacement barrel for the Encore ProHunter rifle platform. Fluting along the 26 barrel reduces weight while preserving the rigidity needed for consistent long-range accuracy giving hunters a lighter-carrying rifle without giving up performance. A 1:10 twist rate is matched to common .308 Win bullet weights supporting reliable stabilization across a range of factory loads. The 1/2x28 threaded muzzle accepts a muzzle brake or suppressor giving shooters flexibility for recoil management or hearing protection. Finished in matte blue the barrel resists the elements while keeping a traditional low-glare appearance suited to hunting use. Every Encore ProHunter barrel is factory test fired at 100 yards to verify accuracy before it ships giving buyers confidence the barrel performs to standard out of the box. The barrel is drilled and tapped for scope mounts so adding an optic requires no additional gunsmithing. Compatible only with Encore series rifle frames and not with Contender or G2 Contender platforms this barrel is a straightforward way for an existing Encore owner to add a .308 Win option to their lineup.
