Pro Hunter with a makeover
Just got a new thumbhole stock set for my Pro Hunter. It's a gray laminate from E. Arthur Browns and I absolutely love it!
TC Pro Hunter Weathershield frame
.45 cal Bergara barrel
Trigger job (by Carlos) with bellm #3 trigger/sear spring, #51 bellm hammer spring
1x Bellm hinge pin
Burris 3-9x40 Fullfield II w/ballistic plex

I was able to shoot a couple groups like this with it before I got the trigger job and everything done to it. Carlos was putting a few shots in one ragged hole pretty much at 100 yards with it after he did the upgrades. He also tried out the ballistic plex with it at 150, 180, and 200 yards and it was on the money.

That is a pretty rifle Chaded. And looks like it shoots well tool. I guess if anyone was going to go that route they would be better off just buying an Encore frame and purchasing the barrel and stock separately as opposed to buying a complete Encore. Or maybe buying an Encore with a centerfire barrel and then a Bergara ML barrel.

You made a great choice. I know I can shoot my thumb hole stocked Encores considerably better in hunting situations. I feel as if I have considerably more control of the rifle(definitely have). I have a few of those TH Encore stocks. I am sure you are going to like it better. The stock also does a great job at reducing felt recoil. Tom.

That stock really dresses it up a lot. Looks nice.
Does that monte carlo cheek piece on the thumbhole put your line of sight up a lot higher? I really like thumbholes, but worry that if I went with one it would be too high to use open sights with. Is it a different design than the factory thumhole stock?
