I just received a walnut stock and trigger guard for my TC Thunder Hawk. I could not be happier!
The sock was advertised as used. Barely.
The packaging was excellent ( packing peanuts are SO much fun in winter. Sticks to EVERYTHING) and it was shipped Mon and arrived today via USPS.
Now for the good stuff!
There are a few handling marks on the stock. Nothing major. I was planning on giving it an oil finish, but its in such good shape, I might let it age gracefully.
The synthetic stock fit me perfectly. So I thought until I put the walnut on and shouldered her.
What have I done?! This rifle fits like it was made for me! And on top of that, handles better than any rifle I've ever owned, breech or muzzleloader. My Black Diamonds feel like clubs by comparison.
TC has come out with some goofy stock designs over the years, but the Thunder Hawk is NOT one of them.
I am going to glass bed her though. Stability is a wonderful thing. I hope she shoots as well, or better, in the walnut as she did in the Tupperware.
So. Got the rifle for $150. Stock was $134.50, $29.50 for the trigger guard and $13 for shipping so for $ $327 total, I got me a great rifle!
