Description
The Thompson Encore Pro Hunter 6.5 CM is a rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 26-inch barrel.
Thompson Encore Pro Hunter 6.5 CM Overview
Thompson/Center is known for its break-open Encore single shot system, which lets one frame accept interchangeable rifle, shotgun, pistol and muzzleloader barrels. The Encore Pro Hunter adds a fluted barrel, a swing hammer for scope clearance and a FlexTech recoil-reducing stock to the Encore system. Before heading to the field or range, take time to set the rifle up for your build and your hunting or shooting style. A quality scope in good rings, a comfortable sling and a set of shooting sticks or a bipod will do more for accuracy than almost anything else.
Zero the rifle with the exact load you plan to use, confirm the zero at the distances you expect to shoot, and practice from field positions so you are ready when the moment comes.
Design and Features
Barrels are interchangeable on the same frame, and rifle barrels are drilled and tapped for scope bases. Choosing the right ammunition matters as much as choosing the rifle. Try several loads from reputable makers, shoot groups from a solid rest, and settle on the one your rifle prefers before hunting season. A good sling, rings that match your scope and a few rounds of practice from field positions will turn an accurate rifle into an effective hunting tool.
Handling in the Field
It is a versatile, accurate single shot for hunters who want one gun for many seasons.
Action and Trigger
The single action trigger is crisp, and the hammer must be cocked to fire.
Sights and Optics
Mount the optic of your choice with quality rings or a mount, and zero it with the load you plan to use.
The 6.5 Creedmoor Cartridge
The 6.5 Creedmoor is known for long-range accuracy, a flat trajectory, and modest recoil, with plenty of energy for deer-size game.
Setup and Accessories
Start with a quality optic and solid rings or a mount, then add a sling for carrying and a bipod or shooting bag for steady rests. Test a few loads for accuracy and settle on the one your rifle likes best. A hard case protects your investment on the way to the range or the field.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner’s manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the rifle and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner’s manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the bolt face and chamber. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
