You would be better off to get him to a sporting goods store where he could handle the different rifles and see which one fits him. If he has lots of center fire rifles and does not need the exchange a barrel feature of the Encore and such, then a Triumph, Omega or the Pro Hunter might be a good choice.
Are you going to scope the rifle? What kind of hunting does he do? But I will say, your one heck of a wife in my book!!

I know Im kinda picky when it comes to Hunting and I never like anything anyone else buys for me because If I like it I already have it. The same with my Wife, I cant buy her anything either as whatever I buy just is'nt right, so now she gets cash and buy's what she wants.
So mabey the (hint) would do you good.
Best of Luck to You and let us know what you decide.

I see your location is Indiana so I suspect that hunting would be for deer. The selection of bullets would likely be those with sabots as the deer are smaller animals that the lighter bullets will be sufficient. If elk were in the mix I would caution that Thompson Center rifles are a little picky about shooting full bore conical (solid lead) bullets and another choice might be the CVA Accura of one of the Knight rifles (even though they are out of business they are still available). Hope the decision works out for you and congradulations on supporting your husband.

Lots of good mls suggested. I would also advise you to let your hubbie in on your gift giving ideal. It can be the best ml made from the top of the line manufacture, but if it don't fit him and or handle right it will collect dust or be sold or traded in a year or less. Its one of those cases where some things a man can't buy for a woman and a woman can't buy for a man. That being said the TC Bone Collector is a good choice. Your a good wife keep supporting your husban.
