Thompson/center Encore Pro Hunter Barrels, 8180R

Product Description

The Thompson/center Encore Pro Hunter Barrels, 8180R is a rifle barrel chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor for the Encore Pro Hunter. It is a barrel, not a complete firearm, so it goes on an Encore frame you already own.

The big point here is the caliber. 6.5 Creedmoor is a popular cartridge for hunting and target work, and this barrel lets an Encore Pro Hunter shoot it. The part number is 8180R, and the UPC is 810180300872. Use both when you match it to your setup.

Who it suits

This barrel suits Encore owners who want a different chambering without buying a whole new rifle. It also fits hunters who like the break-open Encore design and want to add a 6.5 Creedmoor to the lineup. If you are not sure it matches your frame, check the model name on your Encore before you order.

Plan on a few other items to finish the setup. You will need 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition, a scope with rings and bases that suit your barrel, and a sling for carrying in the field. A cleaning kit with a bore brush in the right caliber is also a good idea. The boxed shipping weight is 5.2 lbs.
