What are your favorite Thompson Center (T/C) Percussion guns?

[sqqy14]

I've owned a lot of them, I never cared for the Renegade, too clubby, never felt right. Hawken, Pa Hunter top choices.

54 Hawken percussion, 45 Hawken flint and 45 Patriot pistol

I have three TC rifles. Favorite is the .54 cal. my wife bought as a kit in 85 as a Christmas gift to me. Two are Seneca's. A .36 cal. that I got for her, and a .45 that bought from a forum member.

Currently my favorite is my .45 Seneca.

I have a .50 Renegade that shoots great and has never malfunctioned.

 

[PEARL DRUMS]

I have an early 90s 50 cal New Englander dad gave me. It shoots 385 gr Great Plains bullets at a screaming rate with 80 gr of 3f. Very accurate. My favorite is my 73 Hawken. It shoots a .490 ball and .015 patch sitting on top of 60 grains of 3F with a lubed felt wad on top of the charge. Very accurate as well. I don't see anything wrong with anything they made. If you cant shoot them, its your own fault I would LOVE to get my hands on a .54 one day. Just not ready yet.

My 54 Renegade A#1. But I just got my my Reneboar er Reneboar put together, so give me some range time.

My favorite T/C is the only one I’ve ever owned - a second-hand, lefty New Englander in .50 cal!

The new Englander is probably my favorite TC gun. A short NE in .54 is now my main deer rifle and a 12 gauge NE is my turkey gun.

Since I posted about the only TC I owned, I found another, while checking & dusting the rifles in the round rifle rack. I put it together from parts that I found in my stash and on eBay in 2019 and now consider it my new favorite. TC stock & lock with a Green Mountain .40 cal barrel. It is a tack driver.

 

[Reds]

My favorite is bird, upland, waterfowl with the New Englander or TreeHawk. Have the .50 for the TreeHawk a Tackdriver.

Also have a NEW IN BOX NEVER FIRED PA HUNTER CARBINE if anyone may be looking!!!

What are your favorite Thompson Center (T/C) Muzzleloading percussion guns?

New Englanders. i have a .50,.54.58 and a 20 gauge. Got enough stuff to build another or two.

 

[IL Rifle]

My favorite is my .50 Hawken restocked in a Pecatonica Long Rifle stock with a Hawken shop trigger guard and nose cap. Also. I’m fond of the .54 Renegade I bought from the original Gander Mountain retail store in Wisconsin in the mid 1970s.

 

[cynthialee]

Renegade .56 smoothbore
also have a rifled .54 for it, but I don't use it since I figured out a good roundball load inside of 50 yards with the .56 barrel

Plus 1 for the .56 smoothbore. One of my favorites.

The only TC’s I own are the Cherokee. A 36 and 45. So I guess they are my favorite TC. The 36 is a real sweetheart.

I really like the Cherokee. Particularly the slim profile and light weight. Pretty easy in the eyes too.

 

[Gtrubicon]

The 45 is stupid accurate, it takes the mystery out of the gun for me. I have several in 45 that I tinker with. The 36 is just flat awesome. It’s my only small bore as of now. The Crack of that 36 going off is awesome.

I like a good .36. mine is a CVA, so not as nice as a TC, but I do appreciate the caliber. Popped a possum on the half shell with it the other day. My Cherokee, which is probably the most accurate BP gun I've owned, is a .40. great little gun.
