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.

The .404 Jeffery Family

The .404 Jeffery dates back to 1905 or 1906, and was supposedly created by W.J. Jeffery & Co. to replicate the performance of the .450/400 3” Nitro Express, but in a bolt-action magazine rifle. But the offspring of that cartridge—as well as those cartridges which were “highly inspired” by the .404 Jeffery—have gotten much more of the spotlight than the .404 ever did.
