The break-open Encore action allows quick barrel swaps, letting owners convert this frame to other centerfire, rimfire, or muzzleloader calibers with T/C barrels. For the buyer, that means one rifle can serve multiple hunting roles with minimal effort.
The 26-inch stainless steel barrel is drilled and tapped and comes factory-fit with T/C’s Quick-Load Accurizer Muzzle system. This recessed crown and muzzle guide help center sabots, improving consistency shot to shot.
Robust fiber-optic sights—an orange ramp front and a fully adjustable rear with green dots—provide a bright sight picture in low light. If you prefer optics, the installed aluminum rail accepts most Picatinny or Weaver scope rings.
The synthetic Monte-Carlo stock offers a 14.25-inch length of pull, molded checkering, sling-swivel studs, and a rubber recoil pad that tames magnum charges while keeping overall weight manageable in the field.
