Yeah but one thing TC is doing that will end up hurting them i feel they are shying away from the traditional muzzleloaders. Sure they have the hawken and a couple others but they have been around for more years than i can remember. Time for a new traditional muzzleloader. They may not sell like hot cakes but you need to think about the traditional shooters that are looking for a old sidelock or flintlock. As for TC smearing BPI, look at all the people who have come out from hiding and admitted to having poor triggers on their TC's. Face it, cva has only turned out one rifle that i know of that was bad and that was the apollo. And that was only on certain models made. Traditions i dont know about for sure, I got a new frizzen from them because i thought mine was bad and so they sent me a new one. No problems with the rifle in almost a year. But you have to admit that BPI has really made a change in cva and turned it around. If im not mistaken, cva is the #1 selling brand muzzleloader. Sure they throw out some rifles with some trigger issues but look at TC as we've been finding out. If they dont test them at the factory, theres no way of knowing what you will get. I was actually suprised when i noticed all the TC's coming out of the woodwork with trigger issues. And im not Bashing TC in anyway. It appears there have been a good number of people with TC trigger issues that TC needs to adjust and make sure the customers get what they expect and paid for. But anyways, sorry to ramble on like this lol, i get in my moods sometimes where you cant shut me up. But most importantly, enjoy the new rifle, let us all know what you think of it and how it shoots.
