Anyone try the TC pro hunter?

Really strong reciever.
They are great rifles. Because you can switch the barrels from low pressure muzzle loader to high pressure center fire, the recievers have to be really strong to take those kind of pressures. But do not pour smokeless powder down your muzzle loader. Because it can take it, does't mean you should do it. I've shot both muzzle loader and center fire (cheap factor ammo) cartridges through two different rifles and found them to be fairly accurate. And in a hunting context at 100yds that's all you need.

thats good then I can slobber all over his to return the favor
if you dont like the idea of being able to switch out barrels in miutes, having a very impresive selection of calibers/guages to chose from and hate the idea of a single shot that is built to last then NO dont buy one

Exactly!!!!
I just bought the Pro Hunter from SIR in .308 WIN. I have yet to shoot it but so far I'm very impressed with the fit and finish. I can only hope it shoots as good as it looks. Once my new Nikon scope and Warne scope mount gets here (the rifle didn't come with a mount) I'll be able to take her out to the range.....But I do have a question for all of you that own this rifle in centerfire calibers....What kind of accuracy are you getting at the range and what can I expect from this rifle? Most of the information out there is either to one extreme (accurate) or the other (not-accurate).......So what is your first hand experience with these? What should I expect?
My hunting buddy has one in .300 win mag. I like the 28 inch barrel. And the stock that has that recoil reducing system built in. I can vouch that it really does cut down on felt recoil. I would love to try out a .375 barrel and see how the recoil feels. I may have to pick one up myself. Nice to be able to quick change barrels to suit the game in question. TC makes some of the best barrels in the business.

and yes I stare at it and the box of 300Gr partitions every day how the heck did you pull that off

I think I got lucky, I wanted one without the thumb-hole stock in .308, but just to make sure I asked them what, out of the 4 stocks available, (thumb-hole or normal & black or camo) they had in stock. Turns out they had a normal one in black and a thumb-hole one in black (not sure of the quantities). I ordered it about a week and a bit ago and got it in the mail yesterday. Now I have to play the waiting game on my scope mount
maybe they just didn't have your caliber in stock? Great customer service tho, I'm glad I bought from them.

I guess I was more lucky then I thought......
I know not many people own these, but I'd love to know what kind of groupings you're achieving on a regular basis! (center-fire only)

as soon as my shoulder is well nuff to pound that 375 pro hunter I will be all over range reports of it.
There's no reason that with a little tinkering that you shouldn't be shooting sub MOA.
Thank you, now I have something to shoot for.......I have an over-sized hinge pin and stronger springs coming so I hope to be shooting exactly that.
My cousin bought one in 22-250 from S.I.R.this winter.
Tried five or six different kinds(different brands and bullet weights) of ammo in it and so far it sure is not impresive in the accuracy department.I believe somewhere around three inches is about the average.
Reason that i am posting is that besides the poor accuracy the point of impact keeps changing alot also.He will get it sighted in as good as he is able with the way it groups.Then maybe say the next day it will be as much as 8 inches or more up,down,left or right.
Rings and bases are tight.It has an older leupold on it but i can't remember what model.I am thinking it must be the scope or something as this dosen't sound like the norm for acurracy from most stuff i have read about them.
I remember reading somewhere that certain models of scope where only designed for rearward recoil and that putting them on a breakdown firearm caused sideways recoil(so to speak)when they were snapped shut.
Is there any truth to this??? Does anyone have any ideas what may be the problem ???
I told him what i read and he is going to try another scope on it to rule the scope out.In the event it is not the problem any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks and have a great night guys.
