Yes, it has the finger removable breech plug. I have a TC Encore with a scope and love the gun. Just don't want to remove the scope and put the rear sight back on for hunting Colorado with a muzzleloader. Also looking at the TC Triumph but it's a couple of hundred more.

Did you buy yours locally or on line? Most of the online ones seem to not have iron sights but are set up for scopes. Do see a few on Gunbroker.com with iron sights.
