Thompson Center Cross-Slot Aluminum Scope Mount for Encore 12 Gauge

The Thompson Center Cross-Slot Aluminum Scope Mount for Encore 12 Gauge Shotgun (Thompson Center part no. 2080R) is a direct-fit base built specifically for the Encore break-action platform. Machined from black aluminum, it bolts onto the factory-drilled holes on the Encore 12 gauge barrel or frame without any gunsmithing. The full cross-slot design lets you position scope rings exactly where you need them instead of being locked into a single fixed spot. It is a simple, affordable way to add a red dot or low-power scope to an Encore built for turkey, slugs, or waterfowl.
