The Encore ProHunter XT represents Thompson Center's commitment to delivering a modern muzzleloader that combines proven reliability with advanced hunting features. This .50 caliber rifle is built on the foundation of Thompson Center's reputation for durability and field performance.

Key Features

Interchangeable Barrel System Unlike traditional muzzleloaders, the ProHunter XT allows you to swap barrels, giving you one platform for multiple hunting and shooting purposes. The included 28-inch .50 caliber barrel is optimized for hunting applications.

Recoil Management The FlexTech stock and forend incorporate four Energy Burners along with a recoil pad that compress upon firing. This design reduces felt recoil by 42 percent, making the rifle more comfortable to shoot and easier to control during follow-up shots.

Speed Breech 3 Technology The removable threaded breech plug features a triple-lead thread design that provides greater surface area between threads. This prevents powder corrosion seizing and allows faster removal with fewer turns than conventional plugs—making field cleaning and maintenance significantly easier.

Sighting Options The rifle comes standard with Williams fiber optic sights and is drilled and tapped for scope mounting. The Swing Hammer can be positioned on either side of the frame for convenient access when using mounted optics.

Weather Protection Thompson Center's WeatherShield coating protects the barrel, receiver, and critical components against the elements, ensuring reliable performance in harsh hunting conditions.
