Thompson Center
The Thompson Center Encore 6.5 Creedmoor barrel is a drop-in replacement barrel for your existing Encore rifle frame, letting you add a serious long-range hunting cartridge to your modular rifle system without buying a whole new gun. This 15-inch stainless steel Pro Hunter barrel ships test-fired and ready to shoot—Thompson Center validates every barrel at 100 yards before it leaves the factory, so you're starting from a known accuracy baseline. Built from full stainless steel with fluting designed to maximize rigidity while keeping weight down, it's engineered to handle the recoil of the 6.5 Creedmoor and stand up to harsh field conditions without corrosion concerns.
If you own an Encore rifle and want to branch into a flatter-shooting, longer-range caliber without the cost and complexity of a new firearm, this barrel swap is one of the cleanest paths forward. The 6.5 Creedmoor has become a go-to for hunters pushing beyond 400 yards, and the 15-inch barrel gives you the velocity and accuracy potential the cartridge was built for. No gunsmithing required—it's a mechanical fit.
Important: these Pro Hunter barrels are engineered specifically for Encore frames and will not fit Contender or G2 Contender rifles, so double-check your receiver before ordering. If you're already deep into the Encore ecosystem, adding a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel is a practical way to keep one frame and multiply your hunting options.
