The single-shot platform remains a favored choice for hunters and precision shooters who value simplicity, predictability, and rugged reliability. In the field, a firearm that balances recoil management with consistent accuracy can make the difference between a successful harvest and a long day of adjustments.

The Encore Pro Hunter brings deliberate design choices that matter on long sits and steep approaches.

Ergonomics and Recoil Control

The stock features a right-hand thumbhole design that promotes a repeatable cheek weld and natural trigger hand placement—important for consistent follow-through. Combined with the Limbsaver recoil pad, the Encore Pro Hunter reduces felt recoil, which aids shooter comfort and allows for faster, steadier sight recovery. For hunters transitioning from centerfire rifles or shooters sensitive to torque, these elements create a controllable package without adding unnecessary weight.

Optics and Certified Used Assurance

Leupold VARI-X IIC 3-9X40MM

The included Leupold 3-9x40mm is a practical choice: low-end power for quick target acquisition in timber, and 9x for deliberate shots at distance. Mounting and zeroing a quality scope like this on the Encore Pro Hunter yields predictable trajectories and simplifies range sessions.

The Certified Used label means the rifle has been inspected to high standards and is sold in very good to excellent condition. All Certified Used Guns come with a ‘no questions asked’ return policy—an assurance that makes buying pre-owned both safe and sensible.

The lack of a specified caliber on this listing means pairing appropriate ammunition for your intended game and local regulations is essential—consult the product page prior to purchase.
