Thompson Center Encore ProHunter Katahdin Barrel Features The Thompson Center Arms Encore ProHunter Katahdin Barrel is machined from stainless steel and chambered in .338 ARC giving Encore owners weather resistant performance alongside a fluted profile designed for the strongest lightweight barrel possible. The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes .338 ARC projectiles for consistent accuracy at the range and in the field. A 5/8x24 threaded muzzle allows the addition of a brake or suppressor giving hunters flexibility in how they configure their rifle for different hunting situations. Every ProHunter barrel is test fired by the factory at 100 yards to verify it meets accuracy standards before leaving the plant. Built exclusively for Encore series rifles this barrel will not fit Contender or G2 Contender frames so Encore owners can be confident in a direct correct fit. The barrel is drilled and tapped for scope mounts meaning no gunsmithing is required to add an optic suited to the new caliber. The stainless steel finish resists corrosion in wet or humid hunting environments keeping the barrel performing reliably season after season. For Encore owners looking to add .338 ARC capability to their platform the Thompson Center ProHunter Katahdin Barrel offers a simple factory-verified way to expand their rifle s versatility.
