Thompson Center Encore Scope Base Features The Thompson Center Arms Encore Scope Base uses a one-piece Picatinny-style cross-slot design that mounts directly to the factory-drilled holes already present on an Encore barrel eliminating the need for drilling or additional gunsmithing. This base accepts cross-slot style scope rings giving shooters a secure and repeatable mounting platform for their riflescope. Constructed from matte anodized aluminum the base resists corrosion and wear while keeping overall added weight to a minimum on the barrel. The matte finish also helps the base blend in with most factory Encore barrel finishes without drawing unwanted attention. Installation is straightforward with manufacturer guidance calling for mounting screws to be tightened to 19 in-lbs for a secure properly torqued fit. At 5.50 inches long and just 0.40 inches tall this low-profile base adds minimal bulk to the rifle s overall profile while still providing the rigidity needed for accurate shooting. Finished in a Moss Green color option this base offers Encore owners a way to match their mounting hardware to a camo or green-themed barrel finish. Weighing only 2 ounces this scope base is a lightweight practical solution for mounting glass on a Thompson Center Encore platform.
