The Thompson Center Arms 3180R Encore Buttstock transforms the shooting experience with premium walnut construction and ambidextrous design. This factory replacement buttstock delivers enhanced ergonomics and classic aesthetics for Encore Pro Hunter rifle platforms.
What Makes This Different
Unlike synthetic alternatives, this walnut buttstock provides superior grip texture and natural weather resistance. The ambidextrous design accommodates both left and right-handed shooters without modification. Premium-grade American walnut offers consistent density and grain patterns that enhance both function and appearance compared to lower-grade wood options.
Key Features

- Ambidextrous design fits both left and right-handed shooters
- Factory specifications ensure perfect fit on Encore Pro Hunter rifles
- Traditional checkering pattern provides secure grip in all conditions

Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes from -20°F to 120°F.
