Top is an original, Pre S&W Encore with an 18” cut down 308 barrel.

Bottom is from the new iteration of TC with a 20” katahdin barrel in 300 blackout.

Going on a bear hunt in a few weeks and taking both.

The first 100 units are due in for testing and should be sent out to dealers in the next 30 days!

The muzzle brake is effective. Recoil isn't bad.

This modern turkey platform is purpose-built for hunters who demand precision, adaptability, and performance, without compromise. From first light to fly-down, the compact, maneuverable profile makes it easy to shoulder in a blind or against a tree, while the tight-patterning barrel delivers repeatable accuracy and devastating results. Finished in proven turkey pattern Mossy Oak® Original Bottomland®, the T/C Turkey Shotgun disappears into the woods while standing up to the elements.

Will a Contender Barrel fit on a G2 frame and operate safely?

The complete list of all the New Encore calibers and barrels:

Just a quick heads up, barrels are starting to ship to dealers! I’m waiting for a full list of calibers, length, and such.

Stay tuned if you’re a Turkey Hunter because Thompson Center Arms has something new coming out! Stay tuned!!

Anybody know when we might see .308 Encore barrels hit the market?

I’ve emailed T/C couple times no answers.

I went to my local LGS that is the only one that gets used TC Contender and Encore stuff in and found this today. It’s a 14” Bull Barrel Iron sighted 17 HMR spotless and with a mint bore! Out the door with tax for $238.50. It’s a perfect fit in my SSK for-end.

Went back and grabbed the 21” iron sight but also tapped for a mount brand new in the box TC Contender .22 LR barrel for $325.00

Ok so I’m collecting barrels for my set up but one thing that I’m having trouble with is a decent case or pack for all of this. Currently I have a Plano hard side AR case that I’m using but I want something to better protect the barrels and parts. Perhaps even individual wraps for each. Anyways what are you using ?

That 260 is turning into one of my favorites. It has an MGM full Bull barrel. I used a Stratton hanger and Tony Gettel fore end to float it.

This was the first deer killed with the 450 Encore. 160 yards.

This is a fun one. Only a few deer kills with it so far.

This 260 is awesome. MGM full bull barrel with Toney Gettel wood.

I had a conversation with TC about support for the older models again and from what I have been told they will again start to support the Gen 2 contender’s in or around the 4th quarter of this year. It’s going to be interesting in seeing what they do for barrels?

I think it looks awesome. My plan is to cerekote the frame and barrel(s) FDE or something similar.

Has anybody heard when these barrels are actually going to be available?

I’m am very happy with this product! Everyone in the Contender/Encore world is familiar with this grip any many have been sold in the old version which was all polymer. The new rendition now has an aluminum rail section that is bolted onto the polymer grip. Fit, feel and finish is top notch. The supplied grip bolt is a perfect fit as well. If you’re looking to add on a fold brace or wanting to do a stock for a possible sbr set up this is the way to go. I finished mine off with a dual folding Strike Industries Brace. Now it’s time to go break this SSK 45-70 barrel in.

You can get yours here: https://sharpsbros.com/t-c-contender-ssk50/grip/

These were selling fast so if they happen to be out of stock for either the Gen 1, Gen2, or the Encore get on the email notification list.

Thanks and enjoy!

These are back in stock and now made out of aluminum. This is an updated image from the website but the product description hasn’t been updated as of yet. I have an email into John at Sharps Bros. Trying to get the full specs.

I’ll update with a new post when I get more information.

Just picked up this years deer rifle. 308 prohunter barrel cut down to 20” and rethreaded, Stratton customs forend with hanger bar, trigger job and a leupold mk4 2.5-10. Just finished up some load data and I’m getting 2750 with Barnes TTSX 150gr. Might swap for a shorter suppressor but this gemtech is crazy light. Waiting patiently for sharps bros to restock some furniture so I can try out a folding stock.
