The Thompson Center Encore ProHunter Rifle in 7mm Remington Magnum is a break-open single shot built around a threaded 26-inch fluted stainless barrel (Thompson Center part no. 8205R). It rides in a Flex Tech stock with a LimbSaver AirTech recoil pad and compression arches, a combination T/C rates to reduce felt recoil by up to 70 percent, which matters with a magnum cartridge. The Encore frame is an interchangeable system, so other barrels sold separately can later go on the same gun. It is a straightforward choice for a hunter who wants a single-shot magnum with a threaded muzzle ready for a brake or suppressor.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 7mm Remington Magnum, a flat-shooting magnum round used for long-range big-game hunting.
• The barrel is 26 inches long with precision fluting, giving the magnum round room to build velocity.
• The barrel finish is stainless steel, which resists moisture on wet-weather hunts.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which T/C states is for suppressors and muzzle brakes on its centerfire rifles.
• Twist rate is 1:9, the rifling rate that governs which bullet weights the barrel stabilizes.
• Capacity is 1 round, the single-shot design that keeps the action simple and the rifle light to carry.
• The action is a break-open single shot that opens by pulling back on the trigger guard spur, which makes loading and unloading quick and easy to see.
• The stock is a Flex Tech design with a LimbSaver AirTech recoil pad, which cuts felt recoil from a magnum chambering.
• The Swing Hammer has a keyed, rotating design that can be offset left or right, so the hammer spur stays easy to reach with a scope mounted.
• Safety is an automatic hammer block with bolt interlock, a patented mechanism that keeps the hammer from reaching the firing pin until the trigger is pulled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mount a suppressor or muzzle brake on this rifle? The centerfire barrel is threaded 5/8×24 at the muzzle, and Thompson/Center states that the threaded muzzle is for suppressors and muzzle brakes.

Can I switch this Encore to another caliber later? Yes. The Encore uses an interchangeable break-open design in which a barrel comes off by removing the hinge pin from the barrel and frame. Other barrels are sold separately.

Does it come with a scope? No. Thompson/Center notes that the scope and mount are not included, so you will add your own optic.
