The overall success of the Contender Pistol, and the reputation it established, led the company to bring out a slightly larger version, with a longer and thicker frame. Called the Encore, this pistol/rifle accepts the larger, high-powered cartridges popular with hunters who want more power at extended ranges. Over the last 15 years, the sport of “black powder” hunting has increased dramatically — as have hunters’ demands. Generally not interested in the nostalgia, which accompanies the guns of the 1800’s, these hunters want modern designs, better accuracy at extended ranges, and easier cleaning. Although Thompson/Center continues to offer our first muzzleloader, the Hawken, most of the muzzleloaders T/C offers today are modern in-line styles. These modern muzzleloaders are capable of accepting magnum charges of 150 grains of FFG Black Powder, or Pyrodex equivalent (i.e.: three each of 50 grain [50 caliber] Pyrodex pellets). Thompson/Center now offers four different styles of modern in-line muzzleloaders. The Omega has a sealed pivoting breech design. The Encore 209x50 Magnum is the most versatile and popular muzzleloader available on the market today. ‘The Encore Endeavor which comes with T/C’s Speed Breech XT and the Triumph, T/C’s new magnum muzzleloader. Just combine barrel, frame and grip and you have your rifle ready. Silhouette shooters using the Encore models for many years.
