Thompson Triumph 8527 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Excellent rifle, but has some drawbacks

The good:

Love this muzzleloader!

Great gun, great precision out to 200 yds. After the first year, I had a couple of the rubber ribs in the stock fall through. I called Thompson and they overnighted me replacements free of charge. Hasn't happened since.

bone collector

I have owned the TC bone collector for several years now and find it light accurate and easy to clean. I saw one review that worried about the weather tech vs stainless. I recently had a senior moment and left my TC and an HR of my brother in-law in the b

Good Muzzleloader

It is an excellent muzzleloader. I had a problem closing the trigger guard but called Thompson Center and found out the Winchester primers can cause the problem. I changed to a different brand and it solved the tight fit.

The GOAT

This gun is amazing I use it every time I hunt even in shotgun cause it just looks so awesome. I shot two 22 point bucks one scored 225. It dropped it dead instantly. What a gun

Bad Experience

TC has changed something! 5 shots on this Muzzy and part of the trigger guard cracks and breaks at the closure hinge.

Your rebate

The rebate on this item was for vets only and was not explained at the store.

Awesome muzzleloader!

Lightweight, very accurate and well built.

I call mine the dust collector.

I bought this rifle a few years ago after obtaining an elk tag for a quality unit in Colorado. I took it to the range and had problems from the beginning. The rifle would not group. I've shot black powder rifles for over 20 years. I used a variety of load

My first BP

Easy to sight in, load, clean and shoot. I have not hunted with it yet but really like the rifle. Only issue is the bore plug is hard to remove if you dont get it clean and greased well each time you use the rifle. That is probably more the user fault tha

Broken Trigger Guard

Same experience as a previous reviewer....

Nice gun

Very easy to shoot and carry. The open sights are great and easy to see in low light conditions.

Best Present Ever

Best present ever is what my son said when he opened it and saw what it was. He could not wait to get powder and bullets to try it out. He can't wait till next hunting season to see how it works on deer. This gun turned out to be better than expected.

good rifle

accurate, easy to clean

Great Gun

This is the best shooting muzzle loader I own. Started off with a 4 1/2 inch group at 75 yds. After some playing around with powder and bullet weight. It now shoots a 2 inch group or better at 75 yds. Ended up with 100 grains of triple seven pellets.250 g

Great Gun

This has been a great gun, easy to clean and maintain. My Thirteen year old son was able to site the gun in five shots. Now we shoot and wait for opening day!

Fantastic!!

I'm a 20 year old girl, and my dad recently gave me this firearm to use during muzzleloader season. I absolutely love it!Pros:-It is much lighter than other muzzleloaders.-The florescent sights are great and easy to align.-I never feel any recoil when I s

Fantastic weapon!

My first ML. Best factory trigger I ever had. Great fit and finish. Simple breech operation. I just dumped my third deer. It took me 6 shots to zero with a 2x7 scope. 80 grains of Buckhorn 209 pushing a 300 grain sabot. Zero@50 and 125. 3 inches low@150.

Confidence is High

I never have any doubts in the field when deer show themselves when I am using this rifle. I have hunted hunt deer for two years now with this rifle. Last year I shot a small buck at about 50 yards and dropped it in its tracks. This year I shot two deer;

Great Rifle

This is a fantastic rifle! Shoots 1" groups at 100 yards with Blackhorn 209 and the T/C Shockwave 250gr bullets. I love how easy it is to clean as well. Highly recommended!

Very Good Muzzleloader

90 grains Blackhorn 209, Barnes TMZ 290, CCI Shot Gun primers, Nikon 3X9X40 Omega, Warne bases and rings, 12 point and 130# doe in the freezer. Shooting 2" groups out to120 yds 1" or less at 70, working on loads to hopefully bring that a little

Overall Good but Room for Improvement

I purchased this rifle about two weeks before hunting season. The gun is very light, easy to handle, easy to clean, shoots great, and looks great. I really liked it but I could not believe the lack in quality of the stock. Three of the small rubber inlays

A good muzzleloader

I bought this gun to bridge the gap between bow and rifle season for whitetail. It serves my needs well and is as good as any other muzzleloader I have shot.

Not happy

My experience with the TC Triumph Bone collector model was not a good one. I took it to the rifle range for the first time to sight in my newly mounted scope and shoot the gun. I shot the gun 4 times and the trigger pull was excellent but the trigger hous

Excellent Muzzleloader

This is a great muzzleloader. These are somethings that really impressed me:1) The Breech Plug is extremely easy to remove and clean,2) The fiber optic sights and truly impressive in low light conditions3) This is a light gun. It is a dream to carry throu

Thanks to Cabelas customer service...

The gun is a quality one& shoots well however the scope rings came stripped & defective. Cabelas has great customer service so allowed me to return it & got a new one. The new one arrived with broken fiberoptics! Cabelas did send replacements,

Enough of the Bone Collector!

I own a Triumph and it is a great Muzzleloader but if your looking for an inline go with the Pro Hunter. The trigger assembly is a pain to clean and there are other options available that provide the accuracy. The Bone Collector hunts tall fences and I am

Worth the Money

I bought this muzzleloader this past week when I found a crack in the barrel of my previous muzzleloader. I was hesitant about spending the amount for it, however, I wanted quality. It took me three shots to sight it in. Two shots were in the same hole. T

Best durn muzzleloader. Period.

Had a cva. This blows it away. So easy to load and clean. Firing is a joy - very little kick. Lightweight is a plus. Most importantly, extremely accurate: 5 shots - 3 holes - 1 inch spread. Definitely worth the extra money.

the best gun ever

this gun is the best gun i have ever seen. it has the breach plug that is amazing. it doesnt kick hard at all. it is the most accurate gun there is. i went out and shot it today and the hits were les than a centimeter apart and 1 bullet wen in the same ho

very nice

just got this rifle before season this year. very lightweight and easy to handle. extremly accurate. took a doe at 120 yds shoting through a woods and it pulled it off. love this gun and would get another one if i had to buy a new gun. perfect oh yeah and

Awesome Muzzleloader

After years of hearing my father brag about his old T/C muzzlerloader I finally said good bye to my old faithful (Winchester 209 Apex) and purchased the Bone Collector. I equipped this beast with a Leupold 3x9 Ultimate Slam and off to the range we went. 5

Phenomenal

This is my first muzzleloader and before shooting it, I was beginning to wonder where the extra money had gone over the black stock with blued barrel. Now i know and could not be happier with it. I put a 3x9x40 nikon omega on it and before going shoot lea

GOOD, BUT COULD BE BETTER

I really do like my bone collector, shoots straight, loads and cleans easily, has a ton of great features.BUT (you knew this was coming, so here it is), i hope tc is reading, and other request the same.... we all know 150 grains of pyrodex or 3 pellets ai

Thompson/Center Triumph Bone Collector .50-Cal.

This rifle is consistently accurate and much easier to load, clean and handle than traditional muzzleloaders. The recoil absorbing stock really makes a difference.The T/C Shock Wave Super Glide Sabots soot very well from this gun. I haven’t been able to t

Bone Collector top notch!

I topped my Bone Collector with a Leupold VX3 3.5X10X50 scope and found my best load is 90 volumetric grains of BH209 pushing a Barnes 250 grain T-EZ bullet in a Harvestor crush rib sabot. Ignition is CCI-209 standard shotgun primers (blue box). Best grou

I am very please with my purchase of the TC Bone Collector. I have mounted the Bushnell Trophy DOA 250 muzzleloader scope. I am utilizing the TC 250grain Shock Wave Super Glide sabots and 150grains 777 pyrodex pellets. I am very pleased with the construct

Great Product!

I bought the bone collector to replace my old Knight disc .50 cal. because it beat me up and it was no fun to shoot or clean. This gun was a major upgrade. I shot it yesterday for the first time and was able to shoot 30 rounds without flinching or feeling

great gun

this gun is amazing! i get 1 inch groups at 100 and most of the time the bullets r touching. i use 100 grains of 777 and a 270 grain platinum powerbelt bullet. the gun seems to love the combo. i shot a doe with it the other day at 70 yards and it put her

My first muzzleloader--Great Gun, I love it.

I had no experience with Muzzleloaders at all until this purchase. I bought the triumph Bone Collector based off the Triumph reviews and the extras that came with the Bone Collector. The addition of the TC powerrod is worth the extra price, that little fo

First trip to the range

First trip to the range was a success. Added a 2.5x fixed Cabelas Alaska scope at the store when I bought it.

Great rifle

I just picked up a bone collector and am impressed with the performance. Using 250 grain TC shockwaves and 3 pellets of 777 powder my point of aim and point of impact from 25-100 yards was the same. The range I shoot at doesn't have longer distances so I
