Thompson Center Encore Prohunter XT Turkey Shotgun 12ga 3" Chamber Single Shot 26" Barrel Black Stock$918.00
Availability: In Stock
The Thompson Center Encore ProHunter XT Turkey Shotgun in 20-gauge is a versatile single-shot platform built for serious upland and turkey hunters who value accuracy and multi-season capability. Built on the proven Encore receiver with a 26-inch barrel, 3-inch chamber, and synthetic black stock, this 20-gauge delivers the shot placement precision and reliability you need when the stakes are high. The true advantage of the Encore platform lies in its modular design: swap barrels between shotgun, rifle, and muzzleloader configurations on the same receiver, turning one gun into a year-round hunting machine.
Thompson Center engineered this shotgun with hunting-grade features that matter in the field. The overmolded grip panels give you secure purchase in wet brush and unpredictable weather, while the Flex Tech stock paired with a LimbSaver AirTech recoil pad absorbs the snap of 20-gauge turkey loads. The swing hammer spur adjusts for left or right hand operation, accommodating both southpaws and right-handers without compromise. Internally, a nitride-coated trigger and sear stand up to thousands of shots and harsh conditions. The chamber is CNC precision-machined and brush-honed for consistent performance and reliability.
The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, giving you the option to upgrade to optics for longer-range turkey work or to pair it with a slug barrel for deer season. At 7 pounds, the weight sits in the sweet spot for all-day carries through timber and fields. With no choke tubes to manage and a straightforward single-shot action, the Encore XT keeps you focused on the hunt, not the gun.
