Inline muzzle loaders

I have a Triumph and find it a great gun and good shooter. I also have a laminate Omega that I like a whole lot more. The break action on a dedicated ML is lost on me when you can have the single piece stock of the Omega instead. An Encore needs the break action for the centre fire barrels that can be switched in.
The beauty of T/C guns is the lifetime warranty to any owner of the product.

I have the Encore which 4 me shoots great and does what it's intended
for (meat on the table). I looked at the Omega and the only complaint I
had was the small area for the primer, if you drop one (cold fingers)
it'll fall in between the breech plug and stock.
Thats my only observance and complaint. I do however like the one piece
stock!!
The Triumph seemed to point nice..but seemed a bit light? And yes, the
TC warranty is a beauty. I bought the Encore for it's versatility.

I love my Encore. You can't go wrong with TC muzzleloading stuff. 
My vote is for the savage because of the smokeless option. Also' I have found it to be the most accurate of any I've had. My second vote is for the Knight.
I've owned three Knights and all were good reliable shooters. My only complaint were they were tricky to prime when they had a scope on them.
If you are planning on shooting over 150 yrds by the savage. The extra velocity is a great thing when you want to reach out a bit. However, stay away from IMR 4227 powder if you go smokeless. Go with the sr 4759

The only drawback with the Knight ml's is the that you need a primer holder to shoot, which IMO is a pain in the a$$.I know from experience and that's one of the reasons I got rid of my NEF. Traditions, CVA, TC don't require these and is just one less thing to carry.
Just curious what bad things you've heard about them? I've got one and no issues at all.
I have an older Traditions Buckhunter I bought off the EE last year. I get the same results as Savagelh's Traditions Pursuit using 80 grains of loose 777 and a 245 grain home cast lead .45 bullet in a T/C black sabot. Bagged my first black powder buck with that gun this year. I was shocked at how accurate that cheap little gun shot! Looks like you don't need to spend a fortune to get a good shooter in the black powder line up I guess.

What are you going to be hunting with it and what range of shots do you plan on taking? I've been shooting Traditions mzzleloaders for the past 20 years and have no complaints about them. Maybe not as fancy a finish as the T/C rifles but still a decent shooting gun. Good bang for your buck but I don't know how their warranty is.

My Savage ML-II shoots inside 1" at 100 yards. Smokeless powder only saves a lot of cleaning.... I only clean it once a year LOL. My MDM shooting pyrodex shoots OK but I have to clean it every 5 shots or so......
