What was the retail price on the T/C cougars back when they were being made??
I've got one in 99%+ shape and wonder should I shoot it or sale it??
Thanks

According to my 1986 Gun Digest, the T/C Hawken Cougar had a list price of $350 .... compared to $275 for the standard T/C Hawken percussion. Apparently this limited production model was introduced in 1982 and ended about 1986 or 1987. It's kind of a collector's gun, so a lot of shooting will diminish its resale value

I was on gun broker today and saw a few listed $700 + range, one had the box that was list I think are $900 + nobody was bidding on them though.

I have bought all of them I have ever seen in person, the cheapest was 450.00 the most expensive was 800.00 new in box. If the wood is nice I’d be interested in buying it.

shoot it. Sale it after that

Sell it to someone who thinks it is a collectors item.

When I was at Friendship last fall a vendor had 2 on the shelf, in excellent condition for $650. They were still on the shelf when we left.

Last one I sold in my shop I have been gone from for 25 years was $700 sold on GB. Seen many sold higher in the big auction house in NH
