The Thompson Center Encore Pro Hunter Barrel in .360 Buckhammer (brand part no. 8250R) brings the straight-wall deer cartridge to the Encore switch-barrel system with a 26-inch fluted stainless steel tube. Thompson Center rifles the bore with a 1-in-12 twist matched to .360 Buckhammer bullet weights, threads the muzzle 5/8×24 for a brake or suppressor, and leaves the barrel sight-free for a clean optics mount. Among rifle barrels, this Pro Hunter favors hunters in straight-wall cartridge states who want single-shot accuracy from a frame they already own.
