Do any of you have an Thompson Center preferably the Triumph?? Do you enjoy them?? How would you rate or review them?? I had an CVA Optima and now thinking about the TC Triumph.

I don't personally own a Triumph,but I do own an Encore and it's the best shooting Muzzleloader I've ever owned. I've heard nothing but good things about the Triumphs also. The guys that I know that use them are shooting the TC Shockwaves with the yellow sabots, and are having good luck with them. I'm shooting 3 pellets of pyrodex or 150 grains behind 250 grain shockwaves withe yellow sabots and it shoots lazer straight. In my opinion you can't really go wrong with anything TC

I have the TC Impact and love it.  Have used it for the last two seasons of Whitetail Deer.  Was looking for a good shotgun when my buddy said to check out the muzzleloaders and he couldn't have made a better recommendation.  He was using a CVA Optima and after he shot mine he went out and got the TC Bone Collector.  That is a nice shooting gun.  I use 2 pellets of pyrodex and 245 grain PowerBelt hollow points.  Took one deer at 125 yards last year with very little drop (maybe 1-2 inches).  I am going to get some ShockWaves this year to try as I have also heard great things about them.

I'm thinking now now I'm going to go with a tradition vortek strikerfire combo scope. I can get a good deal on one.

Good luck with that Traditions if that's your choice, but I will say from experience that A Traditions ain't even close to a T/C muzzleloader. This is in the fit, finish and performance categories.

 Not sure if mean anything but the strikerfire is reported to win the field & stream best of the best 2014 and golden bullseye muzzleloader of the year award. I will though MD let yall know how I like this gun or not. But I could only compare to an CVA Optima.

 

But to say if these was my reasoning I'll be lying lol. They place I get my guns from had to order them and Triumph was not in stock and didn't want to wait not knowing when they'll be in and my curiosity grew more and more for the strikerfire.
