Thompson Center Renegade .54 Cal Percussion Muzzleloader with Heavy Octagon Barrel & Double-Set Triggers
The Thompson Center Renegade earned a strong following during the 1970s–1990s muzzle-loading revival, and this .54 caliber example shows why. A factory heavy 1-inch octagonal barrel supports heavier powder charges, while double-set triggers and a color-case-hardened, scroll-engraved lockplate add both precision and style. Factory drilling and tapping make optics installation straightforward, giving this traditional sidelock real versatility for hunters and black-powder enthusiasts.

The 26-inch chrome-moly heavy barrel provides excellent stability and heat management, allowing the shooter to confidently use heavier hunting charges without sacrificing accuracy.
Factory drilling and tapping on the barrel make it simple to add a scope or peep sight, expanding the rifle’s effective range beyond the supplied iron sights.
Thompson Center’s double-set trigger system lets the shooter choose between a standard pull or a light, crisp set pull for precise shot placement on game or targets.

A color-case-hardened lockplate carries tasteful scroll engraving direct from the factory, adding collectible appeal without compromising the rifle’s rugged functionality.
