Thompson Center Encore Prohunter Barrel Features The Thompson Center Encore Prohunter Barrel is chambered in .45-70 Gov and machined from stainless steel for both strength and weather resistance in harsh hunting conditions. Fluting along the barrel s length removes excess material to create the strongest lightweight barrel configuration Thompson Center offers reducing the overall weight a hunter has to carry afield. At 26 inches the barrel is threaded 5/8x24 giving the shooter the option to install a muzzle brake or suppressor to tame the recoil of the big bore .45-70 cartridge. Every Pro Hunter barrel undergoes factory test firing at 100 yards to confirm accuracy before it reaches the customer. Because the barrel is built specifically for Encore series rifles it will not interchange with Contender or G2 Contender frames so Encore owners should confirm their frame before ordering. No sights ship with the barrel leaving the shooter free to mount an optic or use the barrel with a dedicated scope setup for hunting accuracy. Swapping barrels on the Encore platform requires no gunsmithing letting an owner change calibers in minutes using the same frame. The Thompson Center Encore Prohunter Barrel in .45-70 Gov is for sale at GrabAGun for hunters who want a dependable accurate big bore option for their modular rifle.
