NEW Pro hunter FX Muzzle Loader ??????????????
« on: February 04, 2011, 02:22:50 PM »
I realize that this is a muzzle loader, But I thought it appropriate to post here to make sure someone doesn't buy one thinking it is a regular encore or pro hunter as you can't swap barrels.

I don't understand why T/C made this, But anyway

OMG!  I was going to order one through a friend thinking it would be a great buy on a SS ML with a future as a CF rifle.  I don't think HE knows it is NOT an Encore.  On the Cabelas site the word Encore is used only as a disclaimer warning that other barrels cannot be used on this platform.  It appears that the barrel on this model cannot be taken off the frame.  A 4473 is not required to buy this model - Pro Hunter FX.

Buyer beware

I would hate to be the person who buys one of these thinking it is a regular pro hunter or encore. Of course not having to do any paperwork should make think twice about what you are buying.
