I heard that smith n Wesson has shut down t/c. Has anybody else heard anything about this
I don't think there is an option right now. I was too late to the party. Always wanted one but never got around to buying oneSo what are the options today for a single shot rifle platform with interchangeable barrels?
It's all about the $$$$. For the cost of the new barrels, for a few dollars more you could buy a complete rifle.I don't think there is an option right now. I was too late to the party. Always wanted one but never got around to buying one
It was 2 years ago that S&W announced they had ceased production and intended to divest the BRAND, which was an unfavorable product for any would-be buyer, as buying the brand only meant access to the right to produce the TC products, but did NOT come with the ability to do so. Without assets or resources, the IP for a failing firearms business didn’t hold much value, especially within the context of a Global economic crisis…
Comparing the Henry rifles to the T/C’s isn’t apt. Price comparison isn’t relevant between a Honda Civic and a Porsche. But alas, we no longer have the option of T/C firearms, and it doesn’t really appear that we ever will.
They used to be a good buy for their single shots but here the price has doubled if they can be found.
Unfortunately the TC market is gone.
Orig Contenders felt good, but were limited on cartridge pressure.
G2 and Encores are bulky and feel weird.
While many were enamored with the concept of a "kit"..........or "one gun does it all", really, who wants just one gun and/or having to swap barrels?
IHMSA is about done.
Entry level rifles, and imports........cheaper than TC stuff.
IMHO , in my state (and maybe others) PCR (Pistol Cartridge Rifle) allowance for deer hunting, put the deck screw in the coffin lid of specialty pistol deer hunting.
