Up for sale is a compact, highly versatile single-shot hunting rifle—a used Thompson/Center Arms Carbine chambered in the classic .30-30 Winchester. Built on T/C’s modular break-action system, this lightweight carbine delivers superb balance and pointability for dense timber and brush hunting. Because the break-action design eliminates the length of a traditional repeating action, you get a full-length barrel in an ultra-compact overall package. Chambered in the ubiquitous .30-30 Win, single-shot shooters can also safely utilize spitzer/pointed bullets for improved aerodynamic performance over traditional lever-action tubular magazines.
