Manufactured in the United States, the Thompson Center Renegade, infused with a rich history, was a popular choice among traditional black powder shooters during the 1980s and early 1990s. The firearm's case-hardened finish adds a distinctive visual appeal while enhancing its durability. Its side-lock muzzleloader action, combined with the .50 Black Powder caliber, provides a powerful and exhilarating shooting experience. The ornate trigger guard and double set trigger add a touch of sophistication, making it a standout piece for any collector or enthusiast.
The muzzleloader's wood stock is adorned with a brass patch box and brass butt plate, adding to its vintage charm. Despite its age, the firearm's functionality is not compromised.
