I'm gonna have to agree with you. I just can't see a gun company, who's in the business of selling guns, openly telling people that a less expensive gun is better than a more expensive one... Sounds like a pretty stupid marketing strategy to me. IMO, the Encore is far superior to the Triumph.
I think this is why me and you clash. You agree and disagree with stuff you dont even know. You have never owned a Triumph before. I have owned 4 Triumphs, Two Encores, andone Pro-Hunter. I make comments on stuff right or wrong because i have owned them and used them. The Endeavor is a copy of the Triumph. The Bone Collector is a copy of the Endeavor.
And you know what I've owned and haven't owned how????

Not really they really are the pretty much the same gun unless you want to change barrels to centerfire... other than that when you compare ML to ML they are next to the same
Not really, the Triumph is designed alot better then the Encore. The hinge pin on the Encore is way to inconsistent. The lock up on the Triumph is really good and wont change. The encore will change POI just by sliding the hinge pin. PRbullet and many companies made a fortune correcting that design. Trigger springs to. The Encores have had horrible triggers out of the box. All mine went to the gun shop to get spring put in. The handy guys did it themselves. The Triumph trigger is under four lbs from the factory guaranteed. One of my Encores was 7.5lbs out of the box. That's bad and that was a few years ago.

Any current Encore owners you should tape your hinge pin for more consistent performance. Sounds crazy, but it works. Both sides that is.
I think this is why you and I clash Grouse. You take your personal experiences with certain items and pass them off as FACT like every single item on the market is going to be identical to yours. Maybe you got an Encore with an inconsistant hinge pin... but that doesn't mean every single Encore ever made and yet to be made is going to be like that. Just because you have a Triumph that shoots better and has a lighter trigger than the Encores you have owned doesn't meant that every single rifle ever created is like that.

And another thing. Why would TC commission you to conduct tests with their products and BH209 when they have plenty of professional people to do it. Why would they waste their time and money having an amateurwith nocredentials do this??? Just curious because I think you pump yourself up a lot and make yourself sound a lot more important than you really are.

because grouse will tell you straight up if something sucks or not.

Hes not a TC baffoon that you can hand a check to and have your "member" serviced by that one tester and talk up a product.

ThankYou, that's very true. I could of had a Bone Collector from them and turned it down. I really wanted the new Knight and have had no luck. I will say the Knight Vision has been awesome with the new plug.

The Triumph is the best factory ML for BH209 right now in my opinion.

You know guys, up until a month or two ago we very very seldom encountered disagreeable attitudes or personal attackson this site. It sure was nice. Now stop it.
