New Setup is Complete!!
 
Below are pics of my muzzleloading set up. It's obviously a T/C Triumph w/ Weathershield. Has Silver Leupold Bases and rings with a 2-7x32 Nikon Prostaff. I've shot it with iron sights but, can't wait to get out and try it with the scope now. Enjoy!!





One more pic if you follow the link...

Picture seems to be too small to get a good view. Have you fired it yet?

New and improved pics. Should have taken them with a camera instead of a cell phone.

She looks good. I hope she shoots good also. I ended up getting a Knight Vision and put a Leupold Grand (Ultimate)(whatever)Slam on it. It is tough getting old and not remembering stuff.

She is just what I had in mind for the woods next season.

Cool set-up! Should be a shooter for sure.

What kind of scope rings are those? Doesn't look very stable...

Not sure what brand they are, but because of the distance forward on the reciever where you mount the scope you really need to use a set of extended rings to get the scope back far enough to get a good sight picture and extended rings are really quite stable. Other choice is to go with a scope like an Omega with extended eye relief, but then you loose field of view.

I have yet to put a scope on my Triumph. Looks nice. Would a set of high rings been better?

Thanks SL! That rear one just looks kind of flimsy. Kind of like see-through rings.

Yes those are Weaver 4x4 offset rings. The Knight Vision does have a ring base setup too far forward and eye relief was crappy. I used the offset rings to give some room to move the Leupold scope back and give me the eye relief I need. The rings are great and I have them on another gun, an NEF Sidekick:



This gun is one of my favorite setups and one that has served me well. It is my back up and has harvested deer every year I have had it. I usually let me buddy use it during ML season. He is such a cheap bastard, but has a nice 60 acre farm. Oh well! ;)
