Great features. Easy to clean , shoots well and is a value for the money.. Would reccomend to anyone. One drawback is if you put your finger in to far into the trigger housing it will pinch when you shoot or let the hammer down.

I spent a lot of time looking at different muzzleloaders before I bought this one. This gun is awesome so don't waste your time searching around. It is light, sexy, and shoots great. I have mine with the Nikon Omega and Claw Sling in black and it is quite the weapon. This gun feels so awesome in your hands and the shock absorbers work well. The only bad thing I can think of is that sometimes you may need your wrench to get the breach plug out when cleaning (not a big deal at all because most muzzleloaders require a wrench anyways). This also could be just from the powder or primers I have been using I suppose. I've been using 2 pyrodex pellets and Remington clean bore primers with hornaday sst sabots and have shot really well at 100 yards with this set up.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by guided1 the perfect modern muzzleloader
The short stock to trigger length is what closed the deal for me. With sub-zero hunting clothing on, this gun shoulders cleanly. It is absolutely perfectly balanced with a scope mounted to it. Speed breach makes cleaning a breeze and is very weatherproof. The trigger is the best part of the package, very crisp. Tighter tolerances of TC barrels will not take just any bullet. Barnes Spitfire T-EZ was made for this type of barrel. At 100 yards, I get 1 to 1.5 inch three shot groups with 250 grain bullets and 100 grains of Blackhorn 209 powder substitute which cleans with solvents. Cleaning takes no longer than my centerfire rifle. Just follow up with cedar oil for scent control. Never had a single misfire or hangfire with over 200 rounds fired.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by atdunn Welcome to the Brotherhood
This was the first muzzleloader I have ever owned. I knew basically nothing about black powder rifles, but I did some research and quickly discovered that T/C was the only choice. The staff at the Cincinnati store showed me everything and even mounted and bore sighted my scope for free. I paired this rifle with the Nikon Omega. First 3 shots at 100 yards were a 1" group, no adjustments needed. This set up is in my opinion the best rig to drop a deer at 250yrds. This gun is definitely "the baddest muzzleloader in the land."

With this Power Rod feature, do you have to carry around an extra tip to seat the Sabot down in the barrel?
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:Â
The only difference in this rod is the convenience of the swivel T end. It is a great help but you still need to buy tips.
Top 100 Contributor
A:Â
Yes, you have to carry the tip with you because you cannot put the ramrod back in the gun with it on. It's about the only downfall of the gun, but it's not really a problem. When I'm hunting I usually take the rod out, put the tip on, and set it aside. The tip does come with the gun too.Details:Â

Is it possible to convert the bone collector to different callibers with different barrells?
Answers
A:Â
No. In order to get this feature you would need to move up to an Encore. The Bone Collector has a superior feel when shouldered so think about this. Trust me. The whole barrel switch thing is over rated. It's just easier to get another gun in the caliber you want. Not a single shot, break barrel action with very slow reload time.A:Â
No. They are caliber specific. The encore is the one that you can change the barrels onDetails:Â
yes bought one open it up and notce that barrel would wobble around when you had it locked down to much movement for a staright shoot. tell my if this not wright. this $660.72 gun should not have no movement at all in barrelAnswers
A:Â
I only spent a day at the range with my sons rifle but I never experienced a wobble in the barrelA:Â
There should be minimal movement in the barrel. If it moves more than a few thousandths of an inch, I would send it back to T/C. They got great costumer service, they will take care of you and your gun .A:Â
No, that sounds really weird to me. I have owned a couple of different TC rifles and have never seen anything like that. I would return the weapon before firing it. It sounds to me like there is some kind of manufacture's defect.Details:Â
does this gun come with a scope and if it doesnt what scope rails should i get for this gunAnswers
A:Â
If you get the gun, scope combo, it does. It will also have the mount if you get the combo
A:Â
If you get the rifle without the scope, go for the Leupold bases and rings. Thompson Center does have a different base due to the break open action.A:Â
No it doesn't come with a scope. It has scope rails on it. The rings are specific to the scope so make sure they match.A:Â
It comes with a scope if you pay extra, if not I have a one piece mount and ring combination.Details:Â
does it have anyAnswers
A:Â
No. You will need to pick up rails. They are not that expensive.A:Â
No, it is drilled and tapped for a scope base. It does not have scope rails.Q:Â

What's more corrosion-proof, Stainless Steel, or, Weathersheild covering ? Tonawanda, NY - 6/11/10.
Details:Â
I plan on using IMR White Hots, Powerbelt Platinums, and Winchester 777 209 Primers. I don't anticipate there will e any problems with corrosion with this setup !!!!!Answers
A:Â
In my experience, the stainless steel is bullet proof. However this weathersheild has me sold so far. You can leave it out in the truck overnight and no signs of pitting or rusting. Great product.A:Â
I like the weathershield because the stainless is so bright . As far as corrosion the inside of the barrel is the same.Answers
A:Â
The primers to use are for smokeless powder. Triple 7's by Winchester seem to be the best I have used.A:Â
I use 409 primer caps . They are easy to use and are almost failsafe.A:Â

209 primer. I use winchester 777 primers.Details:Â
does the new .50calbone collector come in stainless barrel? allso how accurate is it out to 200yr, weich type of load should be used?&scopeAnswers
A:Â
If you're looking at shooting out to 200 yrds you better understand that you will measure bullet drop in feet not inches. This gun is lethal out to 200 yrds but I certainly would not recommend it. It's pretty good to 150 then it really drops off sharp.A:Â
I like the Burris fulfilled2 with the ballistic plex. 2imr white hot pellets and the Barnes250 grain T-EZ FB bullets. I got great groups out to250 yrds. 2 inch groups at200 yrdsA:Â
The Bone Collector does not come in SS. If you want the stainless steel look, go to the Pro Hunter. The most accurate muzzelloader I have ever shot. As far as loads go, I like the Hornady Sabots with Triple 7 pellets and Triple 7 primers. One thing I can say is CCI primers are way too corrosive for my liking.A:Â
No stainless barrels. Weather shield should be all you need though. Just keep the inside bore lightly coated with oil.Details:Â
does the bone collector come with a stainless barrel ? and in a45cal?Answers
