Thompson Center Encore .460 S&W Mag. Single-Shot Pistol with Burris 2x Scope
The Thompson Center Encore chambered in .460 S&W Magnum is a purpose-built, single-shot handgun designed to harness hard-hitting revolver rounds in a compact, break-action platform. This full-size Encore features the famous interchangeable-barrel system, a factory 15-inch carbon-steel barrel, and American walnut furniture. A factory-installed Weaver-style rail carries a Burris 2x handgun scope, giving the shooter a clear, magnified sight picture without adding excessive weight.

What’s Included
- Burris 2x handgun scope mounted on Weaver-style rail with split rings (gloss black)
This Encore’s break-open action is built from blued carbon steel, offering the strength needed to safely fire .460 S&W Magnum cartridges. The external hammer and single-shot design keep operation straightforward while maximizing reliability.
The 15-inch barrel balances reach and portability. It wears a ramp front sight, and the rear sight has been replaced by the included Weaver-style rail to accommodate the Burris 2x scope for precise aiming at extended handgun distances.
Walnut furniture—with a finger-groove pistol grip and matching forend—provides a solid, natural feel in the hand while complementing the polished blued metal for a classic look.
Because the Encore platform is barrel-interchangeable, owners can quickly switch calibers by swapping barrels, making this pistol a flexible foundation for multiple hunting or target roles.
