My Seneca

[kwc27122]

Hello everyone,
I thought I’d show you all my TC Seneca my dad gave me for Christmas back in 1982. It is in .45 caliber and is a sweet shooter.

Really nice Dad you have!

Nice old TC there. I feel the draw of adding a 45 Cal Seneca to my pair of TCs. I would want a 45 as nothing smaller in bore is legal for deer here in NY.

They are a sweet rifle. Congrats.

They're great woods-dancers ( I've long had one also).

I've used T/C MaxiHunter conicals in mine for a million years , and it's been pretty much bang/flop.

What do use ?

A friend has one in 36,, it's a tack driver!

Seneca's and Cherokee's were both very nice rifles for youth, women , and smaller men. Good balance and nice handling.I have two Cherokee's for the grand kids.

I just bought up a nice clean Seneca in .45 today, I can’t wait to shoot it!

My favorite Gun in 32 cal but I have 36 and 45 barrels also

I have the Seneca in 36cal factory barrel and another one with a Douglas 40 cal extra long barrel. Both are tack drivers and I like the fit and feel of it over the 54cal T/C Hawken that I have. The 36 is just a fun caliber to shoot and does not use up supplies like the larger calibers do.

I want one bad!

I always liked the slimmer lines on the Seneca over the Hawken. But I wanted a 50 and IIRC the Seneca topped out at 45.

 

[Crockford]

Would probably not be fun to shoot if it did come in 50cal. Would probably kick pretty good with a 100 grains behind a 50cal ball

Even in .45cal, the Seneca/Cherokee stocks will crack from overly healthy loads

I have a Seneca 45, and have never shot anything but mouse loads from it at club matches. It's nice to carry on woods walks. Also have a brand spanking new green Mtn 40 cal barrel for it. Never even loaded that. Picked it up a couple years ago unfired in the white, from a guy who had sitting around for years.

Also have a Cherokee that I've never shot. I seem to have a problem with acquiring guns and not shooting them.
