As with any Muzzleloader, anyone can find something to complain about. The trigger should snap and lock the gun up tight. As you stated very loose and not working properly. The triumphs are very very tight bores. My most accurate load was the 250grn SST with the Harvester short Black sabot. It would flat out shoot tight groups. Is it to hard to load for hunting? One two or maybe three times a year if you got a very accurate load? Keep us posted on how it shoots. I will be very surprised if the three petal sabot shoots. worst sabot i ever tried to be honest.
