Got my new T/C Pro Hunter FX. 26" weather shield barrel I put a one piece integrated base/ring on and mounted a 3-9 Leupold Very Happy

. I'm going to use the BalckHorn 209 Powder with this one and see how it does . Hopefully I will be able to sight it in next weekend Very Happy

TC guns are REALLY expensive here, regardless of the caliber or version.

I've got an Encore with two barrels (so far); a .223 and a .50 ML. The muzzle loader is getting 1.5" groups at 100 yds and the .223 did a .25" group recently. I'm fairly pleased! Thinking about a 7mm Mag or .300 H&H Mag sometime in the future.

This one is the FX model ( fixed barrel muzzle loader) I thought about getting one that I could interchange the barrel's but at almost $300 more I went with the FX. We all no I'm cheap Very Happy

I just bought that same Muzzleloader.

What type of rings and base did you install?

I am going to install a Weaver 1-piece mount (No. 9899) and a pair of Warne low or medium rings, whichever set gets the Omega 3-9x40mm 300 BDC scope closest to the barrel without touching.

Welcome aboard Archer...grab a beer mate and pull up a stump...Joe shouldn't be too far away.

That TC FX is one beautiful gun...damn I wish I could afford one, but they are super expensive out here in Australia.

Cheers, Vince

Good deal! How did she shoot?

What load did you finally go with?

I'm going to try 2 IMR White Hots (Pellets) and a 250 Grain T/C Shock Wave Super Glide. Haven't decided on which 209 primer to use yet.

Howdy Vince! Thanks!
