The TC Encore is their first priority. Beyond that, who knows? The short live 30 TC was the father of the 6.5 Creedmoor. 
I used to have one of the Omega rifles in .45 which was being touted as a magnum muzzleloader at the time. Unfortunately some of the rifles didn’t have the proper twist so accuracy wasn’t great. 
They talk about how the Encore and Contender drove the handgun scope market. I think it is true in part because the handgun scope has been dropped by most scope makers since S&W stopped TC production.

I have watching talk videos so I took it upon myself to find some articles about the return of Thompson Center: I can’t speed read a video. No offense meant @Cholla :)

I'd like to get a new Hawken .50.  That got me started in ML the day after a friend and I saw Jeremiah Johnson at a drive in just a mile outside the Camp Lejeuene front gate.  I gave it to my son and it was stolen, along with a Winchester 9422M and a Colt steel frame Scout in .22 mag. that he got for Christmas when he was 13 years old.

 

If they don't bring back the side lock percussion and flintlock guns I don't really have much interest.

Their Compass was a heckuva nice rifle. Hope to see it again.

 I found that clicking on the gear in the bottom right and setting the play back speed to 1.25 helps.

Agreed, the Compass ii and T/CR22 were good bang for the buck.  I doubt we'll see them again as those were S&W mass marketing influences instead of the high quality, family company of muzzle loaders.

It is looking promising, they have components for the Compass and Venture.
