Arrowhead .45 smokeless barrel here + mgm 6.5 creed barrel @16”+ suppressor. Hard not to pick that rifle up for every hunt

I’ve been considering building one of these up for some time now like the Hobbit rifle with a 16” suppressed rifle barrel, a 20 ga TSS choked turkey barrel, and a muzzleloader barrel. The fact that T/C went out of business stopped me. Now that they are coming back on line, the idea is coming back to the forefront. Sounds fun, but might be a substantial money pit.

Yes to the money pit. It will start with one frame, then each barrel needs a frame, then this cartridge looks interesting and so on.

My thought was one rifle with three barrels in one package to hunt any big game plus turkeys in any state. I think the average spend for the Hobbit rifle thread with one frame one barrel, the grip, folding stock, and optic was about $1800. I’m figuring three barrels, a scope, a red dot for the turkey barrel, and irons on the ML barrel would get me to around $3k. And that is what is what has kept me from doing it.
