http://www.rrarms.com/catalog.php?action=1004&brand=TCTRI If a stainless steel is not the end of the world, and to me if you are only an occassional shooter a blued rifle will do the same, you might want to check the prices here. Any of them would serve you well I would guess.

RE: tc triumph
 

Does the Weather Shield Triump have the coating Inside the barrel? That IMO would be the best place to have it.

RE: tc triumph
 

unsure i might make another call to tc and ask

RE: tc triumph
 

occassional hunter is not the word for it i plan to hunt atleast three or four days a week and i will be hunting every day of gun season with modern gun and ml it is about 5 week s i think

RE: tc triumph
 

The price has gone up since then and is proably going to take an other jump up in July.

Also weathershield is a plateing not stainless, I love stainless but avoid plateings. I bought a blue one and have had really unbelieveable results since I started using Black Horn 209,I have actually gotten some 1/2" groups on wind less days. Lee

Even with a schedule you have for hunting hard for several weeks, I still think the blued model would work just fine. My Black Diamond XR is blued and it looks as perfect as the day I bought it. While I really do like stainless barrels, there is still that beauty on a dark blue black barrel. And if Lee says they are shooters, I am sure they are.

Personally I looked at the Triumph and decided it was not the gun for me. But those that have purchased them sure seem to like them.

RE: tc triumph
 

I read somewhere that the Weathershieldis only a plating, and that the bore is still blued, so you're really not gaining an advantage. I looked at the Triumph, and it's a really nice gun, but I did find the action to be a little awkward. It seemed to me to be opposite of how it should be, but then I have a Contender and figured it would work like that. I'm sure if you used it a lot, you would get used to it. Otherwise, a very nice gun.

RE: tc triumph
 

The combination of the new powder Black Horn 209 and the Triumph is very nice, using non-corrosive powder and no wiping between shots and what I have noticed most is all most all uncalled flyers have ceased to exist the used to spoil a group now and then. I have already planned my hunting season procedure, after practice I will pull the breach plug clean grease and replace the barrel will be left alone with a load of 110 gr BH and a Gold Dot 250 gr I get 2030 fps avg. which gives me 2.6 " high at 100 dead on at 150yds and 3.5 " low at 200yds. with me shooting good and wind less conditios I can hit a large grapefruit at 200 and that is not to bad for me. Lee

RE: tc triumph
 

Lee, 250's are on the small side for large grapefruit. I'd go with the 300's.

RE: tc triumph
 

Semisane, the 250GD has two thing going for it,first it will shoot a 1/2 inch group when every thing is right especally the wind, second every thing I have shot [deer and boar] has dropped on the spot, I still use the 300GD [.454 version] for elk and big bear and if I get a chance at moose or buffalo.

You need to buy the following so this does NOT happen again to your valuable time/data (you have hundreds of hours into documents and data on your PC--like your taxes-- as well as software installed, yata yata):

1) Acronis TrueImage Home, which you can buy here for $35:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832200004

2) External USB drive, such as this for < $100:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148257
(I like Seagate because they have a 5 year warranty)

You can of course buy a bigger drive, but in most cases the 120G is enough for your C: and your data. Back it up with a full image. Instructions on how to do that are here:

So if you buy Acronis and a USB backup, you will not have this happen to you again. Do it now, it is only $100 and it will save your butt the next time it happens.

Or just back it up on to a CDRW.

RE: tc triumph
 

Gleason is giving some very good advice. Newegg often puts sale prices on Acronis, sometimes in the low $20s.
