Thompson/Center Encore Pro Hunter Micro 7mm-08 Rem Single-Shot Pistol, 10" Barrel, Stainless/Blue
This Encore Pro Hunter Micro offers the flexibility of Thompson/Center’s famous interchangeable-barrel platform in a compact, 7mm-08 Rem single-shot pistol. A matte stainless steel frame pairs with a blued 10-inch carbon-steel barrel for a durable two-tone finish, while the Pro Hunter swing-hammer provides extra clearance for optics. Discontinued in 2021, the Encore line is no longer in production, making this well-kept example an appealing option for shooters and collectors who appreciate the system’s modular design.

Built on the Encore break-open action, this pistol accepts a wide range of centerfire, rimfire, muzzleloader, and shotgun barrels, giving owners the freedom to reconfigure the platform as needs change.
The Pro Hunter Micro configuration features a 10-inch barrel for improved maneuverability without sacrificing the Encore’s renowned accuracy. The barrel is chambered in 7mm-08 Rem, a proven medium-game cartridge capable of excellent downrange performance from a compact package.
A matte stainless steel frame resists corrosion, while the blued carbon-steel barrel provides a classic contrast. The black rubber finger-groove grip and matching fore-end offer secure control and absorb recoil.
The offset swing-hammer includes a spur extension, ensuring ample clearance when a scope is mounted on the factory-installed base and rings. For iron-sight use, the barrel carries a dovetailed ramp front and is drilled and tapped at the rear.
