T/C Prohunter
« on: November 17, 2008, 03:06:05 PM »
Does anyone have any experience with the encore prohunter, I think I'm going to get me one for Christmas but want some positive feedback first. 
Is there anything to consider with handloading for a single shot?  Also, how is the trigger?
I think I've heard they can be as accurate as a bolt gun, but I don't know if it's true.
 Any comments will be appriciated.

I own an Encore Pro Hunter in .22-.250 and .300 WinMag. I think it as an awesome piece. TC has made top of the line arms for a long time. I have no problem with their factory trigger. I have had no reason to attempt improvements to it. As far as Re-loading, it is no different than any other caliber or bolt gun. Of course you don't have a Mag box to worry about length but follow the reloading manual for overall length and you won't go wrong. It is easy to change  barrels but of course it can't be done on the fly.  Mine has the thumb hole stock and it is a pleasure to shoot.  You won't regret it. One thing, it can be hard to obtain extra/different barrels sometimes for some calibres.  Where are you located, I can show you mine.

One warning, the Encore and the Encore Pro Hunter are different, don't let them confuse.

So what is the difference between the Prohunter and the normal encore, besides the prohunter being stainless?  Can you use encore barrels on the prohunter?

Btw, I'm quite a ways from you in E. Wenatchee.

Encore & Encore Pro Hunter are not interchangeable  if you go to http://www.tcarms.com/ and search carefully, you will see the difference. There is a drastic appearance and stock shape difference.

Here is some info I got off the net.
Here's an explanation of Thompson Center Encore and Pro Hunter frames. The frames themselves are all "Encore". What differs are the buttstocks, forends, and grips that they come with. Once you own an Encore frame, you can convert it to any Encore based firearm by simply purchasing a different barrel and stock combination.
