The Encore Pro Hunter uses T/C’s renowned break-action design, allowing quick barrel changes to different calibers and lengths. This rifle ships in the powerful .300 Win. Mag. chambering, ideal for long-range hunting and target scenarios.
The 28-inch stainless steel barrel is button-rifled with a 1:10" right-hand twist for optimal stabilization of heavy .30-caliber bullets. Its bead-blast satin finish resists glare and corrosion, matching the stainless receiver for a clean, uniform appearance.
T/C’s FlexTech composite stock incorporates internal recoil-absorbing panels, a Limbsaver pad, and rubber traction inserts on both the grip and fore-end. Together, these features cut felt recoil and enhance control, especially under magnum pressures.
The swing hammer includes an ambidextrous extension spur, providing ample clearance when optics are mounted on the included multi-slot rail. Integral sling studs on the stock and fore-end make field carry straightforward.
Although factory production ended in 2021, the Encore ecosystem remains active, with aftermarket barrels, stocks, and accessories readily available—assuring long-term serviceability and configurability.
