Sounds like its apparent that i shud get a triumph. Going to go with it and buy a TC. thanks for all yalls help

t/c makes a great gun no doubt about . but have you looked @ a traditions pursuit g4 they are also a nice gun. own them both & a t/c impact some how i like the impact a little more . the only problem there is no quick breech plug. have to use a wrench which is supplied or a socket & a ratchet. same barrel as the triumph.

I have heard some really good things about the Triumph. However, this is not the gun you want to buy if you plan on using conical bullets at any point. States like Colorado ONLY allow conicals (no sabots) and you can not rely on a Triumph to shoot conicals accurately. Don't take my word for it, call TC and ask them. They won't guarantee accuracy of any conical for their rifles with the QLA. If you don't ever shoot conicals, it would be a great choice.

Lots of guys that like the rifle and want to shoot conical bullets, have a smith cut the QLA off and re-crown them. Works fine then.
