I guess the choice would be made based on which company the person dislikes the most or on comments made by others but not based on experience.
My friend my comments were based on facts,the triumph is indeed lighter,easier to remove the BP and clean,it is also shorter in length, i do not need to hold a mountaineer in my hands to know these things. break action rifles are vastly more popular for many reasons,which is why i own a triumph and not a Mountaineer.and for the record i do not dislike knight rifles i own one
