I Took a Beautiful "Cougar" Home Yesterday.........

Luckily, it wasn't a large feline -- or the female human variety either...


But she is rather pretty!

I used to have a nice T/C Hawken but sold it off when a shooter at the club made me one of those "can't refuse" offers. I wasn't shooting it much and figured I could always get another one, but after awhile I really wasn't fond of the shiny brass to be quite honest. So recently I went on the hunt for a decent T/C Renegade in .50 cal, figuring the all-blue hardware would better appeal to me. But what I found instead was the "Cougar" version of T/C's Hawken -- a limited edition model from the late 80'/early 90's, made with brushed stainless steel hardware (which looks like pewter) and a "drop dead gorgeous" piece of walnut burl that spoke to me saying "Take Me Home!"

So I did!!!

Best part was it took no outlay of cash, as I traded an old revolver that I wasn't shooting anymore.

Gosh I'm loving the wood on this one! And I like the "French Gray" color of the hardware too.

I just added one of T/C's rare Hunting Tang Sights on the tang and removed the stock rear sight; I just need to add some plug screws to the barrel and get a Treso Ampco Bronze nipple (which I use on all my blackpowder guns) and then I'll take her out to the range.

I sure hope she shoots as well as she looks!

Cool....!

The brushes-stainless does look like pewter, any my Rossi octagonal barreled leverguns have that finish. I like it, even if it isn't 'vintage'...

I have a suspicion that there are two, maybe three mainer members here who have been persistently beating me to the "add to cart" button on the used gun department at kittery trading post.
