Well I realized that for the price of an ROA I could get a nice inline muzzleloader and be on my way to putting a nice scope on it. I think I'll do that first
I know diddly-squat about muzzleloaders.
I have been looking at the Triumph and like the idea of it's Weatherguard as I live in Oregon (rain) however I am hearing initial doubts on it's effectiveness. The Triumph doesn't appear to be offered with a SS barrel. I also hear that water can pool up where the primer is?
I have also been looking at this one here, and would like to hear some feedback on it. Particularly if I am losing anything worth speaking of going with the shorter 24 inch barrel.

I'll probably pick one of these up down the road, as it complies with Oregon's strict muzzleloader season regulations. The other gun would be set-up with a scope, and used year around.

I had a pursuit pro and loved it but bought a TC encore just becuase i always wanted one . My Pursuit was a nail driver and i have yet to get my Encore to shoot as tight of groups , almost but not yet . I realy like the wood stock and i also feel the pursuit is one of the best looking muzzleloaders out there . I also uhave 4 other friends shooting the XLT . They have had no problems with them and they are all shooting great and very acurate . They are all using 90 -95 grains pyrodex powder , 300 grain xtp with black sabots and klean bore primers . Can't go wrong with them , but there are a lot of good guns to choose from and i would get the one that feels the best and is in your price range . The only gun we have had that would not get ood groups is my son CVA Optima .
