Thompson/Center Arms

Thompson/Center Arms has been designing and manufacturing firearms for over 55 years. From their headquarters, they've built a reputation for versatility, precision, and firearms engineered specifically for hunters and outdoor shooters.

The flagship T/C Encore ProHunter is a break-action, single-shot firearm with interchangeable barrels. Pull back the trigger guard spur, remove the hinge pin, swap barrels—that's it. One receiver handles:

• •Centerfire rifle barrels (26" heavy, fluted, threaded muzzle) in calibers from .22 ARC to .300 Win Mag
• •Muzzleloader barrels (28" heavy, fluted) in .45 and .50 caliber with 209 primer ignition
• •Shotgun barrels (12 and 20 gauge, 3" chambers) with precision rifled slugs for sabot ammunition
• •Pistol barrels (15" fluted) for handgun cartridges

This modular approach means a single T/C Encore frame adapts to whitetail, elk, turkey, varmints, or upland game—no safe full of dedicated guns required.

All barrels are T/C button-rifled, brush-honed, and feature match-grade crowns—the same precision standards used in competition rifles.

The LimbSaver AirTech recoil pad combined with compression arches and Energy Burners reduces felt recoil up to 70%.

The Flex Tech stock and overmolded grip panels work in harsh weather. The nitride-coated trigger and sear deliver clean, consistent trigger pull. The patented Swing Hammer design allows left or right offset for ambidextrous operation.

The ProHunter XT muzzleloading barrel includes:

• •Quick Load Accurizor (patented false muzzle with counterbored crown) for simplified loading and enhanced accuracy
• •Speed Breech XT™ (patented hand-removable breech plug) with 90-degree rotation, nitride coating, and three gas compression rings that virtually eliminate fouling
• •Power Rod™ (patented aluminum ramrod with integrated pivoting T-handle) for easier, more consistent loading
• •Accepts 150-grain magnum charges with 209 primer ignition
