The Thompson Center Pro Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor barrel is a factory-tested replacement barrel built to transform your Encore rifle into a long-range hunting machine. At 26 inches, this stainless steel barrel delivers the velocity and accuracy that modern magnum rifle hunters demand—all without requiring any gunsmithing to swap onto your existing Encore frame. Whether you're chasing elk across high country or punching steel at distance, a dedicated 6.5 Creedmoor barrel lets you keep your Encore platform while gaining a fresh, precision-engineered tube optimized for one of today's most capable hunting cartridges.
The fluted profile isn't just about aesthetics. Those cuts reduce weight while maintaining barrel stiffness, a balance that matters when you're glassing ridges at elevation or settling into a shooting position. Stainless steel construction stands up to the weather and abuse of backcountry hunting without the maintenance demands of blued steel, making this barrel a practical choice for serious field use.
Thompson Center proof-fires every Pro Hunter barrel at 100 yards before it leaves the factory, so you know this tube has been verified for accuracy and function. The threads are 5/8-24 standard, and compatibility is straightforward—this barrel is engineered for Encore frames only and will not fit Contender or G2 Contender platforms.
