If TC has that much trouble with their stocks being prone to damage on either their rifles or shotguns, sound's to me like the TC may not be as dependable or as 'fine a rifle' as most people say it is....

I have seen

$20,000.00 stocks break , and $100 stocks break .
Stocks break . Has little to NOTHING to do with TC quality .

GotC - I thnk the evidence is pretty clear that T/C doesn't have that kind of trouble with their stocks. A few examples does not a population make; there are tens of thousands of T/C stocks out there that do not have such problems.

Okay, Mr. MyKeal. I'll take your word, especially since I don't know any better anyway. I was just going by what I read on this thread. I'd always heard that TC was a good rifle. Never had my hands on one and never intend to. My nephew has a TC. I think it might be a .50..He has certainly taken a lot of deer with it. Never heard him mention ever having any type of problem with it....Nonetheless if I go buy a new rifle and the damn stock cracks or the front sight fall's off or the breech plug blows out, I'd say it had one hell of a lot to do with the quality of the product they sold me....I understand what you were saying.

and here we go ,

anything mechanical can break , Rolls Royce or VW Beetle .
There is always going to be the fraction of mechanical things , parts , stocks , springs , sights , what-have-ya that beyond anyones dream of it lasting forever just because you think it should last forever , or its CUSTOM , and be imune to REALITY , is going to fail , break , or not work properly , especialy forever . Its a machine , its going to wear out , its going to fail eventually as certain as death and taxes .
I don't owne any TC anything and never intend to . That woudln't keep me from owning one though or thinking they are crap . I know better . I know lots of people with them and they function perfect and have for years and years . Anything mechanical or any gun hand built is suseptable to the same rules too , because I know better .
