This rifle is very nice shooting, but it is lightweight and jumps a lot when fired. Make sure that if you use a scope, it has a lot of eye relief. Notice the new bone collector model has more energy absorbers in the stock. There's a reason for that.
I just got one of these today. I was able to get out for 3 shots before sundown. You are right that it jumps alot but I noticed that the gun only jumps one direction... Strait back... I have never had a gun with a recoil like this. I am using the standard sights with it and think this was a pretty amazing muzzleloader. My shoulder felt nothing compared to what I am used to and I was shooting a 300 grain bullet with 150 grains of pyrodex.
This rifle can shoot a 2.5" group at 150 meters with my homemade bullets(lee conical .50) and
homemade blackpowder ,granulated like ffg.
Before, i had a ruger 77/50 and the groupings were not that good. Maybe because the action is different on the triumph and the barrel 4" longer but ,damn this rifle can shoot !
@Raider2845 Yes, get the Bonecollector. Much better energy dispersion and a real flat shooter. T/C uses the Encore recoil system in the Bonecollector and it's 350 dollars cheaper than the Encore system.
Just bought one and it's a blast. Easy to clean and accurate as all get out. In the process of figuring out what bullet and what charge works best though. Right now I'm using 130 grs. of 777 pellets (not worth the hype - still have to swab after each shot) and a 250 gr Shockwave 'sa-bow' and am getting 3 inch groups at 100 yards.I think I might try powder. Any thoughts ??
I tried the Power belts - great group but 3 low at 100 and 2 high at 50.
yes we can see the mounting hole on the barrel 0:28

Look how the ramrod jumps out about an inch with every shot. :(

Ive noticed this happens on a lot of newer muzzleloaders. I wonder if there is something that can be done to prevent that from happening

if you live in NJ like me we all aren't spoiled rotten with repeating center fire rifles!

in a lot of states you can't use centerfire rifles for deer, muzzleloader is the only option for hunters who want to take game farther than 100 yds

Just another way to scam the traditional muzzle loader season!
