The whole point of the Encore system is swapping barrels instead of buying whole rifles, and this .270 Winchester tube is one of the more useful chamberings you can hang on your frame. Thompson Center builds it from stainless steel with a 26-inch heavy contour that has been fluted to shed weight and help it cool between shots. The muzzle comes threaded 5/8-24, so you can run a suppressor or muzzle brake without a trip to the gunsmith. It ships with no iron sights, which is exactly what most .270 hunters want since the top is drilled and tapped for a scope base.
The .270 Winchester has been dropping deer, elk, and antelope for right around a century, and it does it with a flat trajectory and manageable recoil that make it easy to shoot well. Paired with the 1:10 twist in this barrel, it stabilizes the common 130 and 150 grain hunting loads that this cartridge is famous for. A full 26 inches of barrel lets the .270 hit its stride, wringing out velocity for those longer shots across a canyon or a bean field.
Swapping barrels is genuinely a couple-minute job. Pull the forend screws, tap out the hinge pin, set your new barrel in place, and put the pin and forend back on. Any Encore or Encore ProHunter frame will take it, so if you already run a muzzleloader, a slug gun, or another centerfire on your frame, this barrel drops right into the same rotation. Because it is drilled and tapped, you can leave a dedicated scope mounted to this barrel and keep it zeroed, then grab it whenever .270 season rolls around.
Stainless holds up well against weather and wet-weather hunts, and the fluting keeps the whole package from feeling nose-heavy when you are carrying it up a ridge. For a hunter who wants one action to cover a lot of ground, this is a smart, no-nonsense way to add serious reach.
It fits both. All Encore and Encore ProHunter barrels are interchangeable and work on any Encore frame. You just pull the forend, tap out the hinge pin, and install the new barrel. Keep in mind rifle, shotgun, and muzzleloader barrels use different forends, so if you are coming off a shotgun or muzzleloader setup you may need the matching rifle forend.
No, this one ships without iron sights. The top of the barrel is drilled and tapped for a scope base, which is how most .270 hunters set it up. You will want to add a base, rings, and the optic of your choice.
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24, which is the common thread pitch for .270 caliber cans and brakes. That means you can mount a suppressor or brake directly without sending the barrel out for machining.
The 1:10 twist stabilizes the standard .270 Winchester hunting bullets very well, particularly the 130 and 150 grain loads the cartridge is built around. Those cover everything from deer and antelope up to elk. The 26-inch barrel also helps you get the most velocity out of whatever load you settle on.
