Thompson Center Encore Prohunter Barrel Features The Thompson Center Encore ProHunter Katahdin Barrel is machined from stainless steel and chambered in 45-70 Government a cartridge well suited to hard-hitting big game hunting at moderate ranges. The barrel s fluting is designed to create the strongest lightweight barrel possible shaving weight without sacrificing the rigidity needed for consistent accuracy. A threaded muzzle at 11/16-24 and a 1 in 20 twist rate allow the barrel to run a suppressor while still stabilizing heavy 45-70 projectiles. Stainless steel construction provides excellent weather resistance for hunters who spend long days in rough conditions. Every ProHunter barrel is test fired by the factory at 100 yards to verify accuracy before leaving the production line giving buyers confidence in the barrel s performance out of the box. The barrel is drilled and tapped for scope mounts so no additional gunsmithing is required to add an optic. This barrel is built specifically for Encore series rifles and will not fit Contender or G2 Contender frames keeping compatibility clear for buyers.
