I am looking for a new Muzzleloader and this question has been up before..I know. but looking at two inlines:
the Winchester and the T/C Triumph(new this year).
Just wondering if anyone has some thoughts and experience with either of these?
thanks!

I have the Winchester Apex and have absolutely no complaints about it. (Other than it's now pretty much illegal to use in Idaho.) I chose it over the Thompson Center Omega because at the time it was a lot cheaper, and very close to the same thing. Personally I don't think you could go wrong with either gun.

I have been looking at getting a stainless triumph, but they are not actually stainless steel. They are carbon steel with a coating on it. I would keep that in mind if you are thinking about getting this muzzleloader. I will still probably end up getting one though.

I wonder if they (winchester) are going to make a conversion to use no.11 or musket caps so they wont become obsolete when every state outlaws the 209.
