Thompson/center Encore Pro Hunter Barrels, 8278R

Product Description

The Thompson/center Encore Pro Hunter Barrel, 8278R, is a barrel chambered in 6mm ARC. It is built for the Encore Pro Hunter, so it is meant for shooters who already own that rifle and want it set up for this cartridge.

What sets it apart

The main point here is the chambering. This is a 6mm ARC barrel, so it lets an Encore Pro Hunter owner shoot that round without buying a whole new rifle. The part number is 8278R, which is worth keeping handy when you check fit with your frame or ask us a question.

This barrel suits hunters who like the single-shot Encore format and want a different cartridge option for it. It also fits the shooter who likes to swap barrels on one frame and build out a small battery of calibers around a single platform.

To finish the setup, you will want a scope and matching mounts, a sling, and a cleaning kit sized for 6mm bore diameter. You will also need ammunition loaded for 6mm ARC. Match your ammunition to the cartridge marked on the barrel, and confirm your frame is an Encore Pro Hunter before you order.
