Thompson/center Encore Pro Hunter Barrels, 8101R

Product Description

The Thompson/center Encore Pro Hunter barrel, part number 8101R, is a barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. The product code reads 6.5CR, which is the short form of that cartridge. This is a barrel only. It is not a complete rifle.

The headline feature is the caliber. 6.5 Creedmoor is a common choice for hunters who want one cartridge with plenty of factory ammunition choices. If you already own an Encore and want to move to this chambering, a barrel swap is a straightforward way to do it.

Who it suits

This barrel suits Encore owners who hunt and want a 6.5 Creedmoor option. It also fits a buyer who is putting together a new hunting rifle around the Encore platform and has settled on this cartridge. Check that your frame is an Encore before you order.

Most people pair a barrel like this with a rifle scope, matching rings and bases, and a sling for the field. A box of factory 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition is the other thing you will need before a trip to the range for sighting in. Keep the manufacturer part number, 8101R, handy if you contact us with fitment questions.
