I recently picked up a T/C New Englander 12 ga. shotgun and am still working up a load for it. TC doesn't make them anymore, but they are out there and available. This is my T/C NE, which I was lucky enought to pay only $200 for it. OH, did I tell you that is was unfired in the box:
It is a very handsome gun and shoots very well so far. Finding the right shot, wad, powder, and cup combination is the fun part.
I will have this gun ready for next season and will hopefully get one of those crafty birds.
