I have a T/C Omega and a CVA Wolf. I really like the Omega and like the Wolf pretty well, although admittedly, I haven't shot it enough. I see people continually comparing the accura to the Triumph and I'm getting tempted by the cabelas sale on the accuras, particularly with an additional $20 off from a mailer. I need some of you hard core enthusiasts to make me feel better about potentially having 3 of these things!
I have only two in-lines, a Lyman Mustang and a TC Omega X7. Those, along with a half dozen sidelocks give me a lot of variety.
Still, I've been mighty tempted by the two TC Triumphs with $175 price tags that are sitting on a shelf at the WalMart near my sister's house. I've had to aviod visiting my sister for the last two weeks. I hope they sold those suckers.

They are still on the shelf as far as I know kb1.
When I first saw them I told the sporting goods manager that they would probably be sold before the store closed that night. He said "no way - I marked them down over a month ago. We've sold only three muzzle loaders the entire year". This is because last year Louisiana went from a "muzzle loader" season to a "primitive weapons" season that allows many models of single shot cartridge rifles. All of the once-a-year hunters are buying NEF 45-70s instead of muzzle loaders. I'm sure they will stop carrying MLs and ML supplies.
I just might go there after Christmas and offer him $100 each for both of them.

Well you said MODERN inlines, so I can not count the plunger style. That leaves 3 the Omega,Triumph and Endeavor. The System One, Bighorn and Thunderhawk are obsolete so they don't count.
I still consider my plunger style inline rifles under the modern area. So that means I have 9 of them.
CVA Staghorn Magnum .50 caliber
Knight Disc .50 caliber
Knight Wolverine LK-II .50 caliber
Knight Wolverine LK-93 .50 caliber
Remington Genesis .50 caliber
T/C Black Diamond XR .50 caliber
White Model 97 Ultra Mag .504 caliber
White G Series Bison .504 caliber
White Model 97 .451 caliber
The modern break open inline rifles I do not need. They are no more accurate or weather resistant then the ones I have now. When these models let me down, I might consider a new one. I also have enough side lock rifles to pick up the slack that the inline rifles don't cover.
