Default change of heart....Endeavor or BC Triumph?

so just before i decided to fully commit to a Encore Endeavor i thought to myself...will i ever buy a different barrel for it? and my honest answer was no since i live in southern MI and you cant use rifles during firearm season...So i changed my mind and now i'm getting a Triumph Camo Bone Collector...so now im second guessing myself...i can still prolly change my mind...but did i make the right decision?

I think you did. I know a couple of guys that have switch barrel guns. They never seem to switch barrels though.

I have a .22 long rifle and .22 Mag barrel for a little knock-around NEF. I don't think I've switched barrels more than once.

I have a .45 and a .54 barrel for my TC Renegade and I'm looking for another Renegade stock so I don't have to switch barrels. I've come to the conclusion that two guns are better than one gun with two barrels.

I just ordered a Bone Collector myself.

The price of the "multi-barrels" are basically the price of a solo gun anyway. I'd rather have 2 guns!

The Triumph has a much better trigger out of the box and is in my opinion the most accurate factory muzzle loader made. The difference made by the recoil absorbing stock is something each person must judge for himself. I have the Endeavor the Triumph and the Omega. The Endeavor took a bit of tweaking the Triumph and the Omega shot right out of the box. The biggest draw back as far as I am concerned is not having a Stainless Steel version available, that phony plating makes me gag. So naturally my is blue. For me the choice thats hardest on the Triumph is between the recoil absorbing stock and a laminate wood stock. I like the strength and the Stainless Steel of the Endeavor so please don't think I am knocking it but I must admit it did cost twice as much as a Triumph sells for.
The bottom line is they are all good guns you have to pick the one that meets your needs.

If you are not going to change barrels, I think you made the right choice.

you can get a riflesd slug barrel for that endeavor. Also can't you shoot chucks, coyote's and varmints w/ 22-250. 223 and such in Southern MI? if so you have a shooting platform to hang that round on.

I think you made a wise decision. Although I own an Endeavor and love it. It has a great trigger and is very accurate. I never plan to swap barrels. Although turning it into a pistol would be cool.

I too live in Southern, MI (Jackson) and had the exact same debate. I looked at the options of multiple barrel capability, but the Triumph was to nice of a gun. It is definetly a shooter and maybe my favorite gun in the arsenal (.257 WBY still holds the top spot).

You will not be sorry.

Personally I use a Encore PH... I feel they are over priced however the Triumph and the new Bone Collector models are even more overpriced...
