The Thompson Center Arms 3170R Encore Buttstock transforms the Pro Hunter rifle platform with an ergonomic thumbhole design that enhances shooting stability and comfort. This precision-manufactured stock upgrade addresses the limitations of traditional straight-grip stocks by providing superior hand positioning and control. Shooters gain improved accuracy potential through better stock weld and reduced torque during the firing sequence.

The design reduces wrist strain during extended shooting sessions while maintaining the quick-change barrel system compatibility that defines the Encore platform.
