Customer Product Reviews
There's a good reason why Thompson/Center is considered one of the leading modern manufacturers of black-powder guns ? their product offerings just keep getting better with each new gun. The Triumph .50 cal. is no different and definitely lives up to its namesake. The Triumph ushers in a new era of innovation as the first-ever, non-FFL break-open gun from T/C. This new magnum muzzleloader is destined to be the center of attention for black-powder enthusiasts due to its toggle-lock action that allows you to break the gun open and get tip-up access to the barrel. The lever-action design works the same as the Omega, where you pull the trigger guard lever down. But, with only four moving parts on this gun, there's no need to remove the trigger group, bolt or barrel ? the barrel and stock break open like your favorite shotgun. This new break-open design provides easier access to the breech area for priming and cleaning, as well as access to the 209 primer. To make things even easier, T/C created the Speed Breech XT? ? the first breech plug that can be removed by hand simply by turning the breech 90?. Once the breech plug is removed just run the solid-aluminum ram rod with a cleaning patch through the barrel to clean it. A series of locking lugs on the breech plug prevent it from seizing. Three gas compression rings on the face of the breech plug eliminate 95% of the corrosive fouling. The trigger sets with an automatic hammer-block safety and comes factory set at 3 to 3-1/2 lbs. An alloy receiver anchors the new design and reduces the weight and balances the rifle for smooth handling. The SIMS Limbsaver? recoil pad reduces felt recoil. The Triumph is engineered to handle 150-grain charges. The 28" barrel has a 1-in-28" rate of twist that stabilizes sabots for incredible accuracy. The barrel is also equipped with a Quick-Load Accurizer Muzzle System for quick, simple loading. With its 28" barrel, the Triumph burns magnum charges with maximum efficiency to produce higher velocities than standard-length barrels. Truglo? fiber-optic inserts in adjustable, metal sights. The scope kits includes Cabela's Integrated base and rings and a Powderhorn 3-10x40mm ballistic scope. It has a trajectory-compensating reticle that takes the guesswork out of crosshair placement when using today's most popular black-powder bullets. All you have to do is sight in the crosshairs at 100 yards at 10X, determine distance to your target and use the appropriate crosshair. At a distance of 100 yards, the ballistic reticle center crosshair is precisely calibrated to match bullet drop. The next bar down is calibrated for a drop at 150 yards and the lowest bar down for 250 yards. Loading data is based off of 300 grain black-powder sabots and 150 grains of Triple Se7en? FFg powder. The scope has a full 5" of eye relief. Multicoated lenses deliver superior light transmission for clear images, even in low light. Hand-turn 1/4-MOA click adjustments. Waterproof, fogproof and shockproof. Starter Kit includes: 20 Shockwave 250-grain sabots, composite T-handle short starter/ramrod extension, Super Jag with spire-point bullet tip, three speedloaders, 209 capper/decapper, bronze cleaning brush, 4-oz. bottle of Cabela's Black-Powder Solvent, 1/2-oz. tube of Superlube and 25 cleaning patches. Weather Shield barrel with Realtree? AP HD? composite stock. .50 caliber only. Length: 42-1/2". Weight: 6-1/2 lbs.
