The Thompson Center Encore Pro Hunter XT barrel in .50 caliber with 209 primer ignition is a genuine game-changer for muzzleloader hunters who already own an Encore rifle platform. Rather than buy a whole new gun, you can swap in this 20-inch barrel and instantly transform your rifle into a dedicated muzzleloader. That flexibility is the whole point of the Encore system—one receiver, countless hunting possibilities. The stainless steel construction handles the moisture and corrosion that come with black powder and hunting season weather.
This barrel ships with QLA (Quick Load Alignment) technology and is fluted for reduced weight without sacrificing rigidity—practical details when you're hiking ridge lines or glassing from a stand. The 1:24 twist rate is engineered for the .50 caliber round ball and modern sabots, giving you consistency and accuracy whether you're shooting traditional or contemporary muzzleloader ammunition. Straight from the box, it comes with open sights, so you're ready to mount it and start shooting without hunting down additional hardware.
If you already own an Encore rifle, this barrel is your ticket to muzzleloader hunting season without the expense or safe space of a second full rifle. Swap it on, dial in your load, and go. Genuine Thompson Center engineering, genuine versatility.
