T.C Pro Hunter

[machohorn]

I found out I won a T.C. Pro Hunter muzzy, I have never muzzy'd hunted b4 but I also realize you can change barrels on this. Does anyone have one of these and how do you like it? I also talked to the gun shop about upgrading to a AR type gun, would you keep the muzzy or trade? I need lots of help on this one

I got one of the first TC Pro Hunters when they came out. I had to custom order it in with the features that I wanted for it. It is very nice to be able to switch out the barrels and I do have a 243 barrel for it along with the 50 cal muzzleloader barrel. I do like my gun but thinking back it probably would have been cheaper for me to just get a Omega and a remington 243 or something like that. I don't use the 243 that often as I wish since I like the option of a second shot if I need it. I really don't like how heavy it is! Probably the biggest reason I grab my 30-06 or my girlfriends 25-06 because it's almost half the weight ok probably not exactly half but a few pounds lighter. If your not into Muzzleloading I would trade it if you are into muzzleloading maybe keep it but ultimately its up to you. I do enjoy muzzleloading and hopefully one of these years I can get a buck with it since I've only shot does with it.

My buddy was recently talked out of buying a Pro-Hunter by a gun shop owner for the following reasons:

1: Pro-Hunter Barrels/handguard sets are around 300 bucks. For that price, you are very close to buying a savage model 11/110 or some of the other, less expensive, but still very nice, accurate bolt action rifles

that allow for faster follow up shots

2: Reloading a Pro-hunter while in the prone position can be very difficult due to the fact it is a break action, follow up shots are not all that quick (obviously applies only to centerfire, not muzzleloader)

#3 is my own: So you can swap any barrel you want on to it for 300 bucks, great, but do you really want a bunch of single shots

All that being said, only you can decide if it is right for you, these just some thoughts that have been brought up by myself and others.

I have a Pro Hunter and love it. Who needs more than one shot? The gun is extremely accurate and has great versatility. Upside to the gun: You get used to shooting one gun with one trigger pull, one stock etc. Being a single shot you never have any worries malfunctions.

There are downsides. As said above, additional barrels are not cheap. The gun is also fairly heavy. However the gun is built as solid as any you will see. All the materials are synthetic or very corrosion resistant. You are getting what you pay for when you buy it.

You can certainly buy stand alone guns in the $300 range but they will most likely be blued and not corrosion resistant. Its really a preference thing.

Unless the gunshop is giving you retail price towards your trade, I would try selling it on my own first if its not the gun you really want.

I've got an earlier model T/C Encore Muzzy I like but wish I had the more recent model Pro Hunter or Endeavor. You've got a top of the line muzzy many wish they had. Keep it and start muzzleloader hunting.

I have a pro hunter in .223 and 30-06. both tack drivers. shot deer and prairie dogs with both. barrel selection is endless. all depends on what type of shooting you are going to be doing.

you got a nice platform for a gun. I have one registered as a handgun so i can change it back and forth from rifle to handgun however in your case it started out as a long arm and cant be changed to a handgun legally so thats a bummer.

I thaught the TC ecore and pro hunter were not as popular but i actually see them on hunting shows alot more than i have thaught. i mostly see them as a muzzy but a few shows i see them as rifles too have not yet to see one as a pistol. the whole barrels costing alot yes a STANDARD factory barrel can run you about 300, thats the reason when i baught mines i only baught the frame and ordered a custom more precise barrel from matchgrademachine for 400 mine as well for the extra 100 its better than a standard factory barrel. its a great gun if you sell it dont sell to a buisness they pay you less way less sell it to a frand or family member, or just keep it, you won it so no loss there
