Item # 289502 Style THM-6028R UPC 810180301275 Condition New Manufacturer [Thompson/Center Arms](https://www.kygunco.com/brand/thompson-center) Model Encore Caliber 50 Caliber Action Single/Breach Barrel Length 28 in The Thompson/Center Encore® ProHunter™ FireStick™ brings modern convenience to the legendary Encore muzzleloading platform. Chambered in .50 caliber, this ProHunter uses the Federal FireStick™ ignition system, which keeps the powder charge contained in a pre-measured capsule for cleaner handling and consistent shot-to-shot performance. At the heart of the rifle is a 28″ button-rifled stainless steel heavy barrel with precision fluting and a 1:24 twist. T/C’s Quick Load Accurizor™ counterbored muzzle is designed to simplify bullet seating while supporting consistent accuracy. The Encore’s single-shot, break-open action also maintains the versatility that has made the platform popular for decades. Its interchangeable design allows compatible accessory barrels to be installed for different hunting applications, with accessory barrels sold separately. A FlexTech™ stock incorporates compression arches and Energy Burners™ to help reduce felt recoil, while the patented Swing Hammer™ can be positioned for easier access when an optic is mounted. Nitride-treated internal components add corrosion resistance, an especially useful feature around muzzleloading propellants. For hunters looking for the familiarity and versatility of the Encore platform paired with a streamlined FireStick ignition system, the Encore ProHunter FireStick offers a modern take on the .50 caliber muzzleloader. **SPECIFICATIONS** - .50 caliber muzzleloader - Federal FireStick™ ignition system - Pre-measured, encapsulated powder charge system - Single-shot break-open Encore action - 28″ heavy stainless steel barrel - Precision-fluted barrel - Button-rifled and brush-honed barrel - Match-grade crown - 1:24 twist rate - Quick Load Accurizor™ counterbored muzzle - Patented Swing Hammer™ - FlexTech™ recoil-reducing stock - LimbSaver® AirTech recoil pad - Nitride-coated trigger and sear - Nitride-coated firing pin and bushing - Interchangeable Encore platform - Black composite stock - T/C Limited Lifetime Warranty ** WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Always found it to be out of stock everywhere I looked. A friend pointed me to Kygun and they had it. Spoke with their excellent customer rep and two days later I had it in my hands. I will definitely be ordering again soon. Can’t say enough about this company and their staff. Thank you Kygun! last week ** ** ** ** ** ## Don't Forget Your Ammo ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@id":"https://www.kygunco.com/#website","@type":"WebSite","description":"Shop
