I really like it. My only complaint is an effect that they call the crud ring, or something such. A crust ring above the powder line in the bore that makes it difficult/impossible to properly seat repeat shots without cleaning. I get 3 shots max and I have to run a wet patch to bust that crust.

I deal with it by just not seeing any deer to shoot at. This way its no problem at all.


Ive seen pics of your TC and I have its clone I have had the same problem with the crud ring . I've switched to Jim Shockeys Gold and its much better now . I'll prolly take her to OKC sometime soon and let her pick one she's pretty small so the shorter the better . That's why I'm leaning to the CVA Optima also several around here and every one says they are very accurate .
