Thompson/center Encore Pro Hunter Barrels, 8181R

Product Description

The Thompson/center Encore Pro Hunter Barrels, 8181R is a barrel for the Encore Pro Hunter, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. It is a part, not a complete firearm, so it goes on an Encore Pro Hunter you already own or are putting together.

The caliber is the main point of this barrel. 6.5 Creedmoor is a common choice for big game hunting and for shooting at distance, and this barrel lets an Encore Pro Hunter run it. The manufacturer’s part number is 8181R, which is the number to match if you are checking compatibility or ordering a second barrel for the same rifle.

Who it suits

This barrel fits hunters who like the Encore platform and want to shoot 6.5 Creedmoor from it. It also suits anyone who wants a second caliber for the same frame instead of buying another rifle.

Plan the rest of the setup around the caliber. You will need 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition, and a scope with rings and bases that suit your rifle. A sling, a cleaning kit sized for the caliber, and a good rest or bipod round out a hunting or range setup. Check the fit of any optic mounts against your own barrel and frame before you buy.
