Thompson Center Arms 8100R Encore 22-250 Rem 15" Silver S/S Brl Pro

The Thompson Center Encore 22-250 Rem barrel is a factory test-fired stainless steel replacement barrel built for shooters who want to swap calibers without buying a whole new rifle. If you already own an Encore rifle and want to add varmint-hunting or longer-range capability, this 15-inch Pro Hunter barrel delivers the accuracy and durability Thompson Center is known for—no gunsmithing required. Just swap it onto your Encore frame and you're ready to shoot.

Stainless steel construction handles weather and corrosion better than blued steel, which matters when you're hunting in wet conditions or storing a rifle between seasons. The fluted design maximizes rigidity while keeping weight down, a smart engineering choice for a barrel you might carry all day in the field. Every Pro Hunter barrel leaves the factory having been test-fired at 100 yards to confirm it groups as expected.

This barrel is built exclusively for Thompson Center Encore rifles. It will not fit Contender or G2 Contender frames, so verify your platform before ordering. The 22-250 Remington is a proven varmint and predator cartridge, and the 15-inch barrel length pairs well with its ballistics for hunting and range work. If you're building a modular hunting rig or want a dedicated varmint setup on an existing Encore, this is a straightforward, reliable way to do it.
