T/C had a good try at it with the T/C '83, and they didn't even come close to this quality, nor did they capture much of a market. To be fair, there ISN'T much of a market for guns like this in the US, and probably wasn't any mass market in Europe either. A gun for the elite, and I don't mean that in the usual polically correct negative sense.
I personally found the T/C '83 "felt wierd." Loved the concept but kinda hated the gun itself. Prefer the Savage 219, however badly finished and plebian it may be. A rifle that "feels like a shotgun" is a GOOD thing....NOT vice versa, tho.
