Thompson Center Encore Prohunter XT Muzzleloader 209x50 M/l 28'' SST/FlexTech Stock Black

With the great looks, quality and accuracy of the ever popular Thompson Center Encore ProHunter™, this muzzleloader combines the advanced features of the Pro Hunter rifle with Thompson Center’s solid reputation for durability and performance in the field. Unlike other muzzleloaders in its line, the ProHunter XT features an interchangeable barrel system allowing you to use one platform for many purposes. This model ships with a .50 caliber, 28-inch muzzleloader barrel equipped from the factory.

Other notable features include the muzzleloader’s improved handling and recoil reduction system made possible by the FlexTech™ stock and forend. Inside the FlexTech stock, are four Energy Burners™, along with the recoil pad, allowing the stock to compress slightly when fired, helping to reduce felt recoil by forty-two percent. Additionally the ProHunter XT muzzleloader includes the Speed Breech® 3, the latest in hand-removable, threaded breech plug technology. Unlike competitors' threaded breech plugs, the Speed Breech® 3's triple lead thread design gives it more area between the threads that helps prevent breech plug seizing from powder corrosion. The triple lead thread design equates to easier removal with fewer turns than conventional plugs. Removal and cleaning just got easier with Thompson Center's new Speed Breech 3.

The ProHunter XT™ muzzleloader is drilled and tapped for scope mounts. It comes standard with Williams™ fiber optic sights, along with a Swing Hammer® that can be conveniently positioned toward either side of the frame, enabling easier access to the hammer under mounted scopes. Weighing in at just 7 pounds, the ProHunter XT features a 14-inch length of pull, crisp trigger and deadly accuracy.

To protect the muzzleloader against inclement weather, Thompson Center has added its tough-as-nails finish, WeatherShield®. When applied to the barrel, receiver and other rifle critical parts, the WeatherShield coating adds an extra level of protection against corrosion, while extending the durability and life of the muzzleloader.
