The Encore Pro Hunter configuration features a stainless/silver receiver mated to a 26 inch heavy fluted barrel with a recessed crown, chambered in .223 Rem. The break-action, single-action design keeps operation simple and reliable, with a 1-round capacity. The barrel carries the PRO HUNTER rollmark and is unthreaded with no iron sights.
The synthetic camo thumbhole stock provides a steady hold with molded checkering and recoil-reducing elastomer inserts. A LimbSaver recoil pad and a 15.0 inch length of pull contribute to a stable, comfortable shooting position.
A one-piece silver Picatinny/Weaver rail is mounted to the barrel for direct optic installation. The external hammer is fitted with a Carlson's knurled spur extension for positive control, especially when a scope is used. The rifle is set up without iron sights for dedicated optics use.
This Pro Hunter reflects the Encore platform's modularity, allowing barrel interchangeability within the system. Practical field touches include QD sling studs with a camo sling attached and an elastic buttstock cheek sleeve with cartridge loops, rounding out a straightforward varmint/predator-focused setup.
