What Muzzy?
#600592 - 03/28/08 03:23 PM

I have a buddy looking to buy a muzzy. He came to me looking for advise, but I really don’t know anything about them so I figure someone around here can give some advise regarding a good quality model to buy. Oh, I think he said he has a limit of $1000.

So let’s hear what weapons you like or ones to stay away from.

Thanks

I LOVE my t/c encore Pro hunter. There around 800 but if he wants to put a scope could always get a omega.

Ive got a pro hunter with a nikon bdc250 scope and removeable scope rings so you can take it off for the muzzle loading season. awesome set up!

First I would have to say T/C Pro Hunter. Next I would maybe look at the Savage that shoots the smokeless powder. What state is your friend in? With the savage you have to make sure your state allows smokeless powder. I think MN has been switching back and forth from year to year. Last year it was legal.

I agree with the guys above. T/C Encore Pro Hunter.

I have a T/C Omega. I like it alot. Have maybe 50 rounds through it, and no mis/partial/fires at all. I am comfortable with it with open sights to 100 yards no problem. I am thinking about scoping it for next shotgun season.

So, what makes the T/C Pro or Omega the preferred choice?

I shoot a T/c Omega too. Right out of the box I was shooting very good groups. I shoot with open sights and have issues taking a 100 yard shot with it. I feel T/C makes the best barrels out there. They are the easyist to clean too. You can not beat the quality. If I was to by another I would get the Encore pro Hunter.

I would say the biggest thing that impressed me about them, was how easy they are to maintain, and that to me equals consistent patterning. Little things too, like the fiber optic sights, ease of loading, and the fact that Jim Shockey uses one all the time. I muzzleload with a buddy, and when we are done, after firing, I have mine clean in 5 minutes, literally, and he is going at it for about another 45 minutes... This is no exageration either. Last year, he said, "next year, you will see me with a T/C Muzzy
