The Thompson Center Encore ProHunter Turkey 20 Gauge (MPN: 6021R) is a purpose-built turkey gun that gets a lot right. It runs on T/C's proven Encore break-action platform, which has earned a loyal following over the years for its tight tolerances and consistent performance. The 24-inch smooth-bore barrel is paired with an Xtra Full turkey choke that puts dense, lethal patterns on birds at serious distances, and the 3-inch chamber gives you the flexibility to run your choice of heavy turkey loads. Total weight comes in at just 6.25 pounds with an overall length of 39.75 inches, so it carries easily and maneuvers well in tight spots.
The receiver comes drilled and tapped for a scope base right out of the box, and the gun ships with steel fiber optic adjustable sights as the standard setup. Both options work well depending on how you hunt. The fiber optics give you a clear, quick sight picture in low-light dawn conditions, while mounting a red dot or low-power scope pays off when you want to stretch the effective range or reduce aiming error. The over-molded FlexTech stock with integrated compression arches helps take the edge off recoil, which matters when you're shooting full-house 3-inch turkey loads. The whole gun is wrapped in Mossy Oak Original Bottomland camo, a classic spring turkey pattern that blends naturally into hardwoods and green-up terrain.
One of the biggest selling points of the Encore ProHunter system has always been the interchangeable barrel design. The same receiver that runs this turkey barrel can accept rifle barrels in a wide range of centerfire calibers, as well as muzzleloader and slug gun barrels, so you're not buying a one-trick pony. If you already own an Encore receiver, the 20-gauge turkey barrel is also sold separately. Turkey hunters who move around a lot, call aggressively, or hunt from tight box blinds will appreciate how well the short, lightweight profile handles on the move. It's a clean, simple firearm that does exactly what it was designed to do.
Yes. The receiver comes drilled and tapped for a scope base, so adding a red dot, reflex sight, or low-power scope is straightforward. The gun also ships with steel fiber optic adjustable sights if you prefer to run it without a scope. Many turkey hunters find a red dot or low-magnification scope useful for confirming pattern placement at longer ranges.
It ships with an Xtra Full turkey choke tube designed specifically for dense, tight patterns at turkey-hunting distances. The Xtra Full constriction works best with standard lead or heavyweight turkey shot loads. If you want to experiment with different choke options, the barrel accepts standard choke tubes.
The 20 gauge is a solid turkey choice, especially when paired with the Xtra Full choke and modern 3-inch heavyweight loads. With the right load and choke combination, pattern performance at typical turkey ranges is very effective. The tradeoff is a lighter, more manageable gun with noticeably less recoil compared to a 12 gauge, which is a real advantage during long sits or for those more recoil-sensitive.
That is one of the core features of the entire Encore platform. The same receiver accepts a wide range of interchangeable barrels including centerfire rifle calibers, muzzleloader configurations, and additional shotgun gauges. This makes the Encore a genuinely multi-season firearm rather than a dedicated single-purpose gun. T/C also sells the 20-gauge turkey barrel separately for hunters who already own an Encore receiver.
The FlexTech stock uses integrated compression arches built into the over-molded composite stock to absorb and distribute felt recoil rather than transferring it all directly to your shoulder. When you are running full-power 3-inch turkey loads, that cushioning makes a real difference. It is particularly noticeable compared to hard synthetic or wood stocks found on similar break-action shotguns.
The 6021R comes in at 39.75 inches overall with a 24-inch barrel and weighs approximately 6.25 pounds unloaded. That is a compact, lightweight setup for a turkey gun, which makes it easier to handle in a ground blind, around tight timber, or when covering ground on an aggressive calling strategy.
