MOUNTING A SCOPE
We recommend that you have a competent gunsmith install your
scope and mount.
WARNING: ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE FIREARM IS
UNCHARGED AND UNPRIMED BEFORE INSTALLING A
SCOPE OR ANY ACCESSORIES.
FAILURE TO DO THIS
CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR OTHERS.
WARNING: DO NOT DRILL ADDITIONAL HOLES IN
THE BARREL AS THIS COULD WEAKEN ITS STRUC-
TURE AND CONTRIBUTE TO A RUPTURE CAUSING
INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR
BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
The barrel is factory drilled and tapped for T/C mounts. Follow
the instructions that come with your scope and the mounts for
proper installation. Questions should be addressed to the
Thompson/Center Service Department.
SIGHT ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE FIREARM IS
UNCHARGED AND UNPRIMED BEFORE ATTEMPTING
ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
FAILURE TO DO THIS CAN CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR OTHERS.
Thompson/Center Encore muzzleloaders are equipped with a
standard rifle rear sight (See Illustration Below) which is adjust-
able for elevation and windage.
To adjust elevation, move the elevation slide up or down its ramp
to change the point of impact. To do this, turn the Elevation
Adjustment Lock Screw counter-clockwise (as viewed from the
receiver end) to loosen it - then move the slide down the ramp
(using the graduation lines as a guide) to lower the point of impact.
To adjust the windage it is necessary to slide the rear sight blade
assembly left or right after loosening the Windage Adjustment Lock
Screw. Move the rear sight blade in the direction you want your
shots to hit-- (Example; moving the sight blade to the right moves
your shots to the right and to the left move the shots to the left).
