For precision shooters and big-game hunters who value a straightforward, accurate platform, a well-maintained single-shot rifle remains a compelling choice. The break-open action, heavy barrel, and quality bedding provided by a properly finished stock give predictable ballistics and a tight point of impact that many precision shooters prefer over semi-autos and bolt actions.
THOMPSON/CENTER ARMS Encore is a standout example: a pre-owned 300 Win Mag in VERY GOOD condition with a gloss blued metal finish and an oil-finished American walnut stock and forend. This example has a 26″ heavy rifled barrel with clean, sharp rifling and very little wear to barrel, receiver, or metal parts. 
The rifle ships with a one-piece Talley 1″ scope mount included and a two-sided knurled Peterson’s hammer expander. Metal swivel studs are fitted to the forend and stock, and the stock shows only a couple of very light pressure marks. Listed at $1,299.99, this Single Shot category firearm balances collectible condition and practical capability. Shop this product
Design and notable features
The Encore’s heavy 26″ barrel promotes consistency at long range, especially in 300 Win. Mag where barrel harmonics and velocity stability matter. The deep blue finish shows minimal wear and no rust or pitting. The hand-oiled walnut stock with a grind-to-fit butt pad and a 14.75″ length of pull provides classic ergonomics and comfortable cheek weld for scoped shooting. The break-open single shot action is simple, reliable, and ideal for deliberate, precision-focused shots.
Performance and applications
Chambered in 300 Win. Mag, this Encore is well-suited for long-range big-game hunting and precision target work where terminal performance and flat trajectories are required. The included Talley 1-piece scope mount simplifies optics alignment, and the Peterson hammer expander improves cocking feel and safety for single-shot operation. At a weight of approximately 7 lbs. 10 oz. and an overall length of 40.75″, the rifle balances stability and carryability in the field.
