Thompson Center Encore Pro Hunter Barrel Features The Thompson Center Arms Encore Pro Hunter Barrel is chambered in .204 Ruger and fluted to create the strongest lightweight barrel possible shedding weight while keeping the rigidity needed for consistent accuracy. A 1:10 twist rate stabilizes the high-velocity bullets typical of the .204 Ruger cartridge helping deliver flat trajectories on varmints at extended range. The matte blued finish resists corrosion and wear from repeated handling and field use.

This barrel is designed as a drop-in replacement for Encore series rifles only swapping onto the existing frame without any gunsmithing required. It will not fit Contender or G2 Contender frames so Encore owners can add an additional caliber option to their existing rifle setup quickly and easily. Threaded 1/2x28 the barrel accepts a muzzle brake or suppressor for additional recoil control when hunting varmints.
