T/C Omega or Triumph
Hey guys well I have some more questions for you. I am in the market for a new .50 in-line muzzle loader. Naturally I want a T/C because they rock! I am trying to decide between the T/C Omega and the Triumph, I have been reading many reviews on both and they are both good. So that is where I need to draw the line. I know that I want the Nikon Omega scope becasue it rocks, but I am not sure if I can use that scope with the Triumph?
So what I am really asking you guys is what do you all think?

I think the scope would work on either rifle,but I would lean toward the omega with a thumbhole stock,I like the feel of it.I think it would be neat having an Omega rifle and scope.

I've always admired TC's products and customer service, but after reading and looking at the pictures of another's negative TC experience, I'm not impressed with the QLA muzzle. The Omega has had so many good reviews, that it seems to be more of a proven rifle.
And since the Omega isn't listed as having the QLA, I like that model better. A break action is a break action, and the new breechplug doesn't seem to make very much of a difference either way. Also, even though it's warrantied, I'm not so sure that I like the idea of an alloy break action receiver. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=280251 |

LOL... I'm having the same internal struggle. Triumph or Omega, Triumph or Omega, and so it goes. I'm leaning towards the Omega because I picked up a Triumph a few weeks back and could not get the breech plug to unscrew. I then called the store manager over, and guess what? He couldn't get the crazy thing to unscrew either. Me thinks me leaning ever so closer to the Omega. Good luck with your choice.

The omega does have the QLA. I really like that feature on my gun. It really makes loading easier. Most groups are 2" at 100 yards.

As posted before, I would go with the Omega. Both shoot great.
Triumph; Too much engineering and adds to that can go wrong. Omega; Keeps it simpler ..... |
