Tc Triumph Relaunch Lede

Thompson/Center Arms has just re-released an fully refreshed Triumph muzzleloader. This evolution of one of the most trusted muzzleloaders ever built was re-engineered with cutting-edge performance and a bold new design with an economical price point. With a fully Nitride-treated barrel, Cerakote-coated toggle-lock action, Speed Breech XT breech plug, and LimbSavr Recoil Pad, the Triumph is the latest in break-open muzzleloader technology. Does that sound complex? It isn't. With only four moving parts, the Triumph offers durability and reliability through a lifetime of use.

The new Triumph’s unique locking trigger guard design allows the pressure to be removed from the hinge pin, which allows for easy access to the breech plug for cleaning or priming/depriming, while delivering an unprecedented gas seal of the primer for reliable ignition. The aforementioned nitride-treated barrel provides a low-friction surface for easier loading and cleaning. 

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.

“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.” MSRP $800-$850; www.tcarms.com.
