If you like the Triumph and it feels good to you, then it really could be the gun for you.

Yes, today TC barrels are showing up really tight, but if you a buying a 50 cal... then out there in the market there is a sabot that will fit the barrel properly. It is really detirmined by the size of you bore. The muzzleloading market does not have a regulatory law that governs the strict size of the bore, one of the things that helps keep ML prices down. It appears that Thompson Center has set their standards to allow anything from a .499 to a .502 as an acceptable bore diameter ( allows them to use the same tool longer - less expense) If you are one of those peole that get the tight .499 then you wll probably be into using the Harvester "crush rib" sabot either the 44/50 cal or the 45/50 cal sabot. If your gun comes with the larger .501/2 barrel you can easily use the HPH-24 or regular Harvester sabot and if you are caught in between you havealso a variety of choices with the MMP HPH-3p-Ez load, the Hornady "low drag" and even Knight has a mid sized sabot available.

So if you like the gun go for it...
