Get ready for a unique hunting experience with the Thompson Center Pro Hunter FX, a 209X50 Magnum submodel that packs a punch. This black powder and muzzleloader rifle, designed by the esteemed manufacturer Thompson Center (TC-T/C), boasts a rich history and a caliber of .50 BPM (Black Powder). It is a single-shot, break-action beast that is perfectly suited for muzzleloader hunting in areas where inline muzzleloaders are permitted.
Though in fair condition, this rifle shows the battle scars of extensive use and handling. The bore is generally clean, but with some residue and smudges, along with slight corrosion. The rifling is slightly worn, and there is a moderate fouling of lead or copper. The outside metal has some corrosion marks but this doesn't detract from its overall appeal.
The stock and forend are in impressive shape, with a camo synthetic stock that features sling studs, rubberized grip panels, and a recoil pad to ensure a comfortable, secure hold. The 26" barrel is fluted for weight reduction and cooling, and it's finished in stainless steel for a sleek look.
The Pro Hunter FX is equipped with a fiber optic front sight, though the rear sight is missing. However, it's drilled and tapped for a scope, with a base already installed. Included in the sale is a Bushnell Banner 3-9x40mm scope with a 1" tube, a Circle X reticle, 1/4 MOA capped turrets, and a camo body that matches the stock.
This rifle was made in the United States and has a length of pull of 14". Despite the signs of wear and tear, this rifle still holds plenty of appeal for the discerning hunter or collector. It's a testament to Thompson Center's renowned craftsmanship and a distinctive piece of firearm history.
