Thompson Center Encore 209x50 Magnum Stainless .50 Cal Break-Open Muzzleloader
The Thompson Center Encore 209x50 Magnum pairs a stainless steel frame and barrel with the versatility of the Encore interchangeable-barrel system. This single-shot muzzleloader is built for magnum 150-grain black-powder charges and uses a sealed 209 primer ignition for consistent, weather-resistant performance. A 26-inch non-fluted barrel with 1:28 right-hand twist and QLA recessed crown promotes easy loading and solid accuracy with modern saboted projectiles.

The break-open action simplifies both loading and breech-to-muzzle cleaning. Press the under-lever, tip the barrel forward, and the chamber is fully exposed for quick primer seating and easy maintenance after each range session.
Closed-breech 209 primer ignition delivers superior resistance to moisture compared with traditional #11 caps, making this Encore well suited for hunting in variable field conditions. The manual hammer-block safety adds an extra layer of user control.
The matte stainless barrel and frame fight corrosion, while the recessed crown helps protect the rifling. A bright orange fiber-optic front sight offers fast target acquisition, and the factory scope base is ready for the optic of your choice.
The Monte Carlo synthetic stock—complete with molded checkering, rubber recoil pad, and quick-detach sling swivel studs—keeps overall weight manageable and accepts common hunting accessories.
