Look I own two H&R rifles. I ain't knockin T/C because they are good guns. What's funny to me, is that my buddy paid 2 to 3 times as much for his T/C. For what he spent, on one rifle, I got two rifles. All that aside, I can shoot with him shot for shot easily. H&R rifles are accurate and serve their purpose without all the bells and whistles. It sounds like you have two nice guns already with the T/C and the Remington. You throw another twenty-five to fifty bucks on that barrel so and so said you should buy, and there you have it. A WHOLE gun. I always like having at least one rifle I can punish and use and not really care about all the scratches and stuff. Buy the survivor. Additional Barrels are cheaper than T/C anyway. Ha Ha. Little joke there. Good Luck.
