Thompson Center Arms Encore ProHunter XT .50 Cal 28" Single Shot Muzzleloader - Black Composite Stock

The Thompson Center Arms Encore ProHunter XT is a single-shot, break-action in-line muzzleloader built on the proven Encore platform - one of the most adaptable actions in muzzleloading, with a barrel-swap system that lets one frame host a wide range of calibers and configurations. This ProHunter XT configuration is purpose-built for black powder hunters running a .50 Cal charge, with the corrosion-fighting confidence of the WeatherShield finish.

The rifle wears a 28" fluted 416 stainless steel barrel cut with a 1:28 twist, well-suited for stabilizing modern conical and sabot muzzleloader projectiles. The 209x50 primer ignition system delivers consistent ignition in cold, wet, and foul-weather conditions where traditional percussion caps can falter. The barrel is finished in WeatherShield for outstanding corrosion resistance against black powder fouling and moisture, and the action is topped with fiber optic sights for fast, intuitive target acquisition in low light.

The action breaks open like a single-shot shotgun for quick loading and uses a simple, robust single-shot feed with a 1-round capacity. A black composite (synthetic) stock with a 14" length of pull provides a weatherproof, durable platform that shrugs off the abuse of a hunting season in wet underbrush. Overall length runs approximately 44.5 inches with the 28" barrel, and unloaded weight sits around 10.2 pounds - balanced for steady offhand shooting and stable from field positions.

Manufactured by Thompson Center Arms in the USA, the Encore ProHunter XT is a do-it-all black powder rifle that can be re-barreled to a vast array of cartridges by simply swapping to another Encore barrel group, making it a long-term investment for the dedicated hunter.
