Merry Christmas folks! I may have a deal on a .270 Thompson Encore rifle, which would include the muzzle loader barrel as well.
I would be interested in what y'all think of them. I have heard both good and bad.
Single shot is not an issue with me.
Thanks for any words of wisdom or advice!

I dont think you can get a better muzzleloader. I have several friends that have them, all are tack drivers. I really like being able to get multiple barrels for the same gun. If the gun fits you well, there no limit as to what you can use it for.

I've never heard anyone that had one have any complaints.....if it's a good price you should grab it!

I had a Thompson Contender many years ago. I still can't believe I sold it.
I'd buy it if I were you.

Well gentlemen - I bought it, and here's what I got:
TC Encore with 270 Rifle barrel (blued) 24 in, with the TC 3-9X 40 scope; 209X50 Cal muzzle loader barrel (blued) with open sights; synthetic stock and fore arms for both barrels, walnut stock and fore arms for both barrels, sling, case.
Price? $750. Less than 2 boxes of rounds through the rifle barrel and less than 50 rounds through the muzzle loader.
The guy gave me 3 270 rounds to try it out. My husband shot the first one, and I shot the other two. All three rounds would fit under a dime. I'd never seen anything like that.
I've never hunted with a muzzle loader, but I can't wait!
So, thanks for all the advice!!!! ;D
