Thompson Center is the brand we think of for muzzleloaders, with a long heritage in the game. For this year, most of the changes are cosmetic. The Triumph Bone Collector gets a dress change with the Real Tree Edge pattern of camouflage, with either a black weather shield barrel or a full Real Tree barrel. Also new for this year, select guns will be available in the original Real Tree Camo.

All T/C muzzleloaders come standard with QLA, the Quick Load Accurizer. This is an unrifled short section of the barrel at the muzzle, that makes the round easier to seat. Also on board, a T-handle ramrod, saving wear and tear on your hands.

The Triumph now comes with fiber optic sights, though it is also drilled and tapped for a scope. It also features the speed breech XT, a very easy to remove breech plug. A quarter turn is all you need, making cleaning a snap. The swing hammer is reversible, for whichever hand you use. The flex tech stock helps dampen recoil, important in a gun that takes up to 150 grains of powder.

    I really like my Savage ML 110. Shoots Black powder or Smokeless.
    Drives a 300g to 2200 fps with Smokeless.
    Groups better than I can shoot.

    The libtards have already called for the ban of black powder firearms which by regulation aren’t even firearms. There is no end to their madness and they must be stopped. Please support the organizations that support our SA rights.

    Learn to love this type of rifle. If Bloomberg, Feinstein and the rest have their way it’s all we will be able to own.
