Item # 289498 Style THM-6025R UPC 810180301244 Condition New Manufacturer [Thompson/Center Arms](https://www.kygunco.com/brand/thompson-center) Model Encore Caliber 50 Caliber Action Single/Breach Barrel Length 20 in The Thompson/Center Encore ProHunter XT Katahdin is built for hunters who want the proven versatility of the Encore platform in a shorter, more maneuverable muzzleloader. Chambered in .50 caliber with 209 primer ignition, this compact ProHunter configuration is designed for fast handling in thick cover, blinds, and demanding hunting terrain. ### Compact ProHunter Performance Built on Thompson/Center’s legendary single-shot, break-open Encore platform, the ProHunter XT Katahdin combines proven muzzleloader performance with a compact 20″ barrel. The shorter overall profile makes it especially well suited for hunters moving through dense timber or hunting from confined blinds where quick handling matters. The Encore platform is designed around an interchangeable barrel system, allowing compatible barrels to be swapped for different hunting applications. Thompson/Center’s Swing Hammer™ provides convenient access when using an optic, while the FlexTech™ stock incorporates compression arches and Energy Burners™ to help reduce felt recoil. The ProHunter platform also features a nitride-treated trigger, sear, firing pin, and bushing for added corrosion resistance and dependable performance in the field. ### Built for Thick Cover The compact 20″ Katahdin barrel gives hunters a fast-handling setup that is easier to maneuver through timber, brush, and tight hunting environments without giving up the proven Encore ProHunter platform. ### Legendary Encore Versatility The Encore’s break-open design allows compatible accessory barrels to be interchanged for different hunting seasons and applications. Accessory barrels are sold separately. ### SPECIFICATION - .50 caliber muzzleloader - 209 primer ignition - Single-shot break-open Encore action - Compact 20″ Katahdin barrel - Interchangeable Encore platform - Patented Swing Hammer™ - FlexTech™ composite stock - LimbSaver® AirTech recoil pad - Compression arches with Energy Burners™ - Nitride-coated trigger and sear - Nitride-coated firing pin and bushing - Black composite stock ** WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
