I break from tradition in that I require a real recoil pad, not a steel plate.
While I'd prefer conicals, my TC, despite a 1-48" twist, won't shoot them better than 2 minutes of dinner plate which won't cut it. (Probably a victim of QLA.) It does modestly ok to about 75 yards with patched round balls.
I was really surprised, in a bad way, to see how much the market had changed a couple years ago. I'd really like to upgrade my accuracy but so far I haven't found a rifle I'd buy.
If you can find one, i'd look for a TC Renegade .54 or a Big Boar .58. Discontinued, so you'd be looking at used, and you want to be sure the bore is in good shape.
