I have one, got it in 2008 when they were around $450. I have owned traditions muzzle loaders and none of them were anywhere near as good as the triumph IMO. It is easy to clean with the quarter turn breech plug, and easily scoped. The sights are nice too. Recoil isn't that bad even with 150gr powder and 300gr bullets. At first the opening mechanism was a little awkward to get used to since I was used to break opens automatically latching as soon as breech is closed, but now I like it. The rifle isn't very heavy either. I would recommend it to someone looking for a muzzle loader.
