Thompson Center is the brand we think of for muzzleloaders, with a long heritage in the game. For this year, most of the changes are cosmetic. The Triumph Bone Collector gets a dress change with the Real Tree Edge pattern of camouflage, with either a black weather shield barrel or a full Real Tree barrel. Also new for this year, select guns will be available in the original Real Tree Camo.

All T/C muzzleloaders come standard with QLA, the Quick Load Accurizer. This is an unrifled short section of the barrel at the muzzle, that makes the round easier to seat. Also on board, a T-handle ramrod, saving wear and tear on your hands.
The Triumph now comes with fiber optic sights, though it is also drilled and tapped for a scope. It also features the speed breech XT, a very easy to remove breech plug. A quarter turn is all you need, making cleaning a snap. The swing hammer is reversible, for whichever hand you use. The flex tech stock helps dampen recoil, important in a gun that takes up to 150 grains of powder.
