I traded for this TC Encore Pro Hunter from a THF member a few years ago. It's had a bunch of custom work done to it and sports a 16" MGM barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor. It originally had an AR stock and pistol grip on it, which was cool, but didn't allow me to get a good cheek weld. I bought a conventional stock from another good fella here on THF, and put a stock pack and sling on it. Now I can get a perfect cheek weld for my scope height. It shoots factory Superformance 129 SST at 2740, and prints 5-shot groups around an inch at 100 yards. And it sho is handy. 37" overall with the Omega. A added a side-by-side with my factory-ish Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor for comparison. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-38286-278264-20210129_164724.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-38286-278267-20210129_170527.jpg)

Had Morgan shorten the barrel on my Pro Hunter when he threaded it. Makes for a rather handy little rifle. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/01/full-3841-278315-3d159db4_4ee4_4d39_a60d_fdb0c71383ae.jpeg)

Judd showed up with his chopped barrel Thompson. Bud of mine was there visiting. He said "that looks illegal short".

Mine is just a Bergara barrel cut off at 16 1/2” and has a Mike Bellm trigger spring kit that breaks at about a pound and 3/4. Not much to the Encore action.

I'm taller than you standing up and laying down. You ain't fooling nobody. Sides hurting  Judd showed up with his chopped barrel Thompson. Bud of mine was there visiting. He said "that looks illegal short". I tell that story frequently when that rifle is broke out. I’m a HUGE fan of the short barrel suppressed stuff. My Encore is a 16” 7-08AI, I hunted with it the last three years and a different bullet every season. Fun little combo that I really enjoy shooting and hunting with. I’ve since got some other short barrels in the works, most recently a 16.5” 6.5 saum.

The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.
