BS, Are you refering to Unlimited classification in handgun silhouette? If so, then I agree to an extent. For the unlimited entries I use either a custom Rampro bolt action in 6.5BR or XP-100 in 7BR. TC's are very popular in the Standing and Field Pistol catagories still to this day. The biggest problem with TC's was their sights. With the aftermarket sight rule for production guns made the TC's competitive.

The biggest problem with TC's,is that they are junk,compared to what can be(Wichita,XP-100,etc.).

Another bane,is getting something into battery,less carrying one in the pipe. Though I've killed some fairly splendid beasties with a mid-gripped single shot XP 7-08(formerly a 7BR which I punched out),the rear grip repeater is a far better killing tool,if only because you can hold 3,4 or 5 down in the belly,depending upon chambering.

They are a vastly superior platform for mounting optics as well and a 1pc stock is never a concession in regards to precision,doubly so when it's a McMillan.

TC can't begin to hang,on any avenue.

I guess I don't understand that. I use the same action on various barrels. The trigger breaks the same on all calibers. What are you doing to the barrels that would cause the trigger to break differently?

BS, you of course are entitled to your opinion and that is exactly what it is. Your opinion. I have shot both XP's, Rampro's, Nesika's, BF's, XL's & TC's and find that they all have their place. I have several TC's that will group well under 1" at 100 yards. Go check out the Specialty Pistols forum http://specialtypistols.infopop.cc/eve/ubb.x
They deal in all kinds of pistols bolts, break, falling block. Each has their following.
