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 don't think you can beat the TC warranty, therefore the Triumph would be the one that I would choose. I have an Omega, and it is a very accurate rifle. I just shot it last weekend with Blackhorn 209 100g and a 300g Barnes MZ and got a 1" group at 100 yards. they are very accurate rfiles and open breech, so it would satisfy the Oregon law.
