Is it possible to mount a scope to this particular model?

yes it is drilled and tapped for a scope "Sights consist of a windage and elevation adjustable Williams aperture rear and ramp-mounted red fiber-optic front. The barrel is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, but the rear sight occupies two of the four mounting holes, so it must be removed to mount an optic." https://ontargetmagazine.com/2016/06/thompsoncenter-encore-katahdin-pro-hunter/

Does any body have any expierince with shooting this rifle in 460 S&W magnum and can tell me what the recoil is like

Shaun, not specifically but similar. Recoil will be significantly less from this compared to a Pistol in pistol calibers due to weight and shoulder stock. It will feel like less than half that of a Pistol.

Awesome addition for hunting and plinking. Shoots 460, 45LC, and 454 Casull with no issues.

Haven’t gotten it to the range yet, but it is a damn good looking rifle. Fit and finish is exceptional. Everything moves freely except where it shouldn’t. Hammer is firm, trigger is light and crisp. I didn’t realize just how short it really is, but LOP is fantastic and the peep sight falls right to my eye. Can’t wait to test her out and update this.

This is a great rifle! The T/C Encore rifle system has always interested me but they can be hard to find in my local area. Buds had them in stock and at a great price that beat the other online sellers. The gun is short, light and handy. The action locks up tight and has no wobble. Accuracy is good and makes for a great platform for handload experimentation. The 460 S&W chambering is very versatile allowing you to fire 454 Casull and 45 Colt ammo out of the same gun. The adjustable peep sight and fiber optic front are very fast to use and should be all I'll need on this gun. Overall great experience and another good purchase from Buds Gun Shop!
