Hi all,
I recently purchased a TC Hawken .50 cal muzzleloader from a local gunshop. In my opinion, the rifle was priced reasonably, and I've been seeing them go like wild fire, so I thought I would get my hands on one before they are gone.
I've contacted TC for info (I've heard of the fire they had so this might be a pipe dream), but I'm hoping anyone here with plenty of prior knowledge could help me out.
I know my way around plenty of firearm types and makes, but I am relatively new to muzzleloaders and would classify my knowledge on them as novice at best. The surface of the barrel, stock, action, etc all look incredible...it feels like a new rifle. I tried my best (didn't have a borescope) to examine the crown and rifling for issues or "buyer beware" items but it looked solid to me.
If anyone has any input that would put my mind at ease about this purchase, I would be greatly appreciative. I am still plenty within the return policy in case it turns out to be a lemon, but I'd love to keep it and hunt with it.
Thanks,
G
