Default Pro Hunter FX?
Not sure what they were going for here?

Looks like basically a Triumph with a different stock? I don't know. This one leaves me asking "why?"

The barrel can not be changed out. I think the stock is the same as the regular pro hunter.

I'm just not sure if there's any advantage to if over the Triumph. It says it's just weather shield, same breech plug and I'm assuming basically the same barrel as the Triumph. All it looks like to me is they just changed out the stock. To me it seems like they're going to be selling to the same market as the Triumph. I don't think it looks bad or is a bad gun, I just don't know if I see the point from a marketing standpoint.

In stainless with a few ML (only) barrel options, i would think it would be very interesting.

Add a 45cal barrel and maybe a carbine barrel in SS and they might have a seller. As is, im not sure.

I never could take a liking to that style stock.

Personally, at that price I believe it leaves a lot to be desired.
