Ok, all encores are single shots. To change barrels, you take out two screws for the forend, you knock out the hinge pin, and take the barrel off and put on a new barrel, insert the hinge pin back in, and reattach the forearm with the two screws. You might need a different forarm for different rifle barrels depending on the contour, and you will definatley need a different one for muzzleloader or shotgun.

the pro hunter is awsome. most people get hung up on the "single shot" part but i love mine. it's definately one of the best rifles i own.

Hey guys on your pro hunter, how hard is it to get the hinge pin out? Is the forearm freefloated or have a "hanger" type of system? Or is the forearm pillar bedded?I heard in addition the prohunter has matched hinge pin holes for reciever and barrel.

I found this to be key to my accuracy. They are shipping out alot of sloppy encore's where you can get the hinge pin out by takeing off the forarm and shaking the gun to the side. Thats just a bunch of crap.

haven't had mine apart yet. i only have the .25-06 bull barrel for it
