I'm new to muzzleloading; justtraded in my slug guns for two new Triumphs set up with Nikon Omega scopes. Since I don't have any prior experience with ML's I can't make a fair comparison to the others but can say with confidence that they beat the hell out of slug shotguns and I'm extremely pleased with mine. I got one in camo and the other is the black & dark gray weathershield.
