ENCORE — THE ALL NEW PRO HUNTER™

A REVOLUTIONARY SPIN ON AN ALREADY INNOVATIVE GUN

INTUITIVE DESIGN WITH LOTS OF FLEXIBILITY

PRO HUNTER™ RIFLE

Pro Hunter’s™ stainless steel 28" barrel delivers the highest muzzle velocity available while the precision fluting helps to strengthen the barrel, dissipate heat and balance the rifle for natural handling. T/C employs the latest CNC technology to machine both the target crown and the chamber on every Pro Hunter™ barrel. To assure the ultimate in accuracy every Pro Hunter™ barrel is machine shot at 100 yards by a Master Gunmaker.

SWING HAMMER®

Pro Hunter™ features a rotating hammer design called the “Swing Hammer”® that can be off-set to allow easy access to the hammer spur. This innovative design is patent-pending and addresses the concern about reaching the hammer when the rifle is scoped. The hammer is keyed to allow the spur to be placed in the center, left hand or right hand positions.

ENCORE PRO HUNTER™ 209x50 MUZZLELOADER

The Pro Hunter™ muzzleloader will forever change how we think about muzzleloading rifles. The Pro Hunter™ muzzleloader features the same Swing Hammer® design, engraved receiver and precision barrel as the Pro Hunter™ rifle. Like todays high tech muzzleloaders, the Omega and Encore, it’s simple to operate, easy to load and quick to clean. Until now, it took longer to remove and clean the breech plug than it did to clean the barrel.

SPEED BREECH™

The Speed Breech™ is a quick release breech plug (patent-pending) that can be removed by rotating it only 90 degrees. No longer do you have to struggle with seized breech plugs or the time-consuming chore of making eleven rotations to remove your breech plug. Three gas compression rings on the face of the breech plug eliminates 95% of harmful blowback. “Speed Breech™…90° and out”

E-Z TIP EXTRACTOR™

This solid one-piece extractor features an all-steel design, and can be rotated to either the left or right hand side to allow easy access to the Speed Breech™. The Pro Hunter™ muzzleloader does not have to be disassembled to remove the breech plug and there are no screws to loosen to pivot the extractor. Simply rotate the extractor to one side or the other. There is a plunger on the bottom of the lug that locks the extractor into place when it is rotated to its upright position. This assures perfect alignment with the Speed Breech™. The extractor also operates as a safety mechanism to assure the Speed Breech™ is locked into position. If the Speed Breech™ is not locked into position the extractor will not drop into the machined recess of the breech plug and will prevent the gun from closing.

QLA®

All T/C muzzleloading rifles come with the patented feature QLA® (Quick Load Accurizor). QLA® allows the hunter or shooter to quickly and easily load their rifle by incorporating a false muzzle design into the barrel of the rifle. Accuracy is enhanced through the QLA® design by aligning the projectile with the rifling. The projectile is supported while the hunter or shooter is loading his rifle to assure the projectile is started exactly perpendicular with the rifling. The secret behind the QLA® is only removing the rifling (.0005 of material) while maintaining the groove depth of the bore. Other “muzzle guiding systems” only aid in starting your projectile; they do not work as a true false muzzle and cannot deliver the enhanced accuracy of the QLA® design.

T/C’S POWER ROD®

The patented pivoting handle (Patent no. 6,145,235 Nov. 14, 2000) is integral with the solid aluminum ramrod. This convenient low profile handle eliminates the need for a palm saver or T-handle and makes loading your rifle quicker and less painful. Powder Rod® allows the hunter to load his rifle in the field more uniformly by applying the same seating pressure shot after shot. Hunters using Powder Rod® can now enjoy the same accuracy they get at the range using a range rod.

FlexTech® TECHNOLOGY

Rifles have become unmanageable to shoot with today’s magnum muzzleloading charges and ultra magnum cartridges. T/C has tamed these hard pounding rifles with their new FlexTech® stock system. T/C’s Master Gunmakers teamed up with Limbsaver® who is known for their recoil reduction technology to develop a process to absorb shock and vibration. The FlexTech® stock (patent-pending) by T/C lessens felt recoil by 43% and absorbs the harmful recoil and vibration that punishes the shooter and damages or looses scopes. It incorporates four synthetic recoil absorbing arches that operate similar to a leaf spring. This creates a crush zone that allows the stock to compress during the recoil process. Each coil is unique in length allowing them to cancel different pitches and frequencies created during the shot. Every shooter’s style and body type is different. The FlexTech® system with patented NAVCOM™ material conforms to your shoulder and puts 50% more shock-absorbing material against your shoulder to disperse the recoil.
