Why the Encore Platform?

The Encore system's modular design means you can swap barrels to pursue different game and seasons without purchasing multiple rifles. The 45-70 Government chambering provides substantial power for elk, moose, and other large game, while the compact 20-inch barrel enhances maneuverability in dense cover.

The fluted barrel reduces overall weight without sacrificing rigidity, making this rifle comfortable for all-day hunting. The threaded muzzle adds modern versatility, allowing you to optimize the rifle for your specific hunting situation.

Whether you're a dedicated handloader seeking precision or a hunter who values reliability and power, the Encore ProHunter Katahdin delivers a proven platform backed by decades of Thompson Center innovation.
