Thompson/Center Arms, has announced the return of the all-new Triumph, a modern evolution of one of the most trusted muzzleloaders ever built. Re-engineered with a bold new design and an economical price point, the Triumph carries Thompson/Center’s 60-year legacy of innovation, reliability, and accuracy in the field.

Featuring a fully Nitride-treated barrel, Cerakote-coated toggle-lock action, Speed Breech XT breech plug and LimbSaver Recoil Pad, the Triumph delivers the latest in break-open muzzleloader technology. Triumph’s unique locking trigger guard design allows the pressure to be removed from the hinge pin (Patent #7,621,064), creating easy access to the breech plug for cleaning or priming/depriming, while still creating a gas seal of the primer for reliable ignition. A fully nitride-treated barrel provides enhanced abrasion and corrosion resistance, delivering a low-friction surface for easier loading and cleaning. With only four moving parts, the Triumph promises durability and reliability through a lifetime of use.

“Hunters asked, and we listened,” said Gregg Ritz, president and CEO of Thompson/Center Arms. “The Triumph is back: stronger, sleeker, and more capable than ever. This platform has earned the trust of countless muzzleloader hunters, and our team is proud to reintroduce it as a cornerstone of the Thompson/Center lineup.”

Triumph will be available in two finishes and stock configurations, making it a versatile option for the whitetail woods, western plains and everything in between. Backed by Thompson/Center’s tradition of accuracy, durability and a limited lifetime warranty, the Triumph gives hunters a muzzleloader ready to perform, season after season.

Michigan Mayor Looks Down on Guns and Dogs

“If you’ve got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand. NRA-ILA also noted that in his response to a police K-9 chasing down a suspect, LaGrand said: “It is time that we ask, ‘What are dogs good for?’ Like, if you need a dog to find someone in the woods, get a hound dog. If you need to chase somebody in a backyard, why couldn’t you do that with a drone? If my dog did what I saw in that video, I’d put my dog down.”

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
