Thompson/center Encore 20 Gauge Break-Action Shotgun, 24″ Barrel

Product Description

The Thompson/center Encore 20 Gauge Break-Action Shotgun is a single-shot turkey gun with a 24″ barrel. It holds 1 round and opens on a break action, so loading and unloading are simple and easy to see.

The barrel comes with a turkey choke, and the gun wears a Mossy Oak Bottomland finish with a FlexTech stock. Overall length is 38″. Sights are fiber optic, which helps you pick up the front bead in low light. The firing system is an external hammer.

Drilled and tapped for an optic

The receiver is drilled and tapped. That means you can add a scope or red dot mount if you prefer an optic over the fiber optic sights. Check the mount you plan to use before you order so it matches this gun.

This shotgun suits a hunter who wants a simple 20 gauge for spring turkey. It also fits someone who likes a single-shot with an exposed hammer. Good gear to pair with it includes turkey loads in 20 gauge, a sling, a shell holder, a camo face mask and gloves, and a ground blind or a good seat cushion. If you add an optic, pick a mount and rings made for a drilled and tapped receiver.
