Thompson Center Arms Encore ProHunter 204 Ruger 26" 1:10 Stainless Fluted Barrel

The Thompson Center Arms Encore ProHunter replacement barrel lets you re-chamber your Encore ProHunter rifle into a 204 Ruger varmint configuration without buying a whole new platform. Built as a 26-inch fluted barrel in stainless steel, it is purpose-designed for corrosion resistance and accuracy in the field, whether you are chasing prairie dogs or other small game.

This stainless barrel is machined with a 1:10 twist rate optimized to stabilize the long, high-BC projectiles loaded for the 204 Ruger cartridge. A 1/2x28 threaded muzzle lets you mount a suppressor or muzzle brake of your choice, and the fluted profile sheds weight while helping the barrel dissipate heat during extended varmint sessions. No iron sights are installed, leaving the top of the barrel free for scope mounting via the Encore cross-slot system.

Designed as a direct-swappable component for the Encore ProHunter rifle family, this barrel installs on any compatible Encore rifle frame (sold separately). Whether you are configuring a lightweight varmint rig or building a dedicated 204 Ruger rifle, this factory Thompson Center Arms barrel is made to the same specifications as the original equipment.
