You could also step out of the "normal" box and try the new Remington 700 Ultimate muzzleloader.

Reports are starting to show up now by seasoned shooters. However they are changing up from the recommended loads, actually more the bullets. It appears that the RU is shooting best with heavy charges of BH209 and Parker BE bullets. One shooter is getting less than MOA at 300yds, with another just starting to shoot his with all bullets (BE) touching at 100yds. This rifle would deserve a quality and higher power variable IMO.

Nothing wrong with the Encore platform rifles, I've owned a bunch of them. Easiest frame to modify of any muzzleloader and cheap. If you want a 2# trigger, just change the spring. The Triumph is a fine rifle also.
