you can still use the bdc feature with 100 gr you just need to spend time on the range and see where your impacts are for the circles. I shot 250 gr bullet with 100 gr 777 mag pellets sighted in at 100 1st circle is still 150 2nd is 185yrd 3rd is 220 yrds

drenal,
the review of the triumph in shooting illustrated stated that the gas seal was not what it was cracked up to be, and once you shot you couldn't use your hand to get the breach out.
It also read that a scope mounted on it causes problems when using the supplied tool to get the breach out.
Other than that they said it shoots well.
I have a black diamond and hunt maryland, and NJ and love it. I have taken deer out to about 125 with 245 grain hornady's and 100 grains of pyrodex, and musket caps.
I was going to get the omega, but was also thinking about eventually getting the encore.

I got one of the first encores years ago. I will probably never buy another ML. It snaps up on center everytime. Feel like an extention of my arm. I am more comfortable with my encore with one shot than my SG with 3. Farthest shot was 117 yards. 2 inches high at 50....hold on to 130

exactly, just like the new monarch with bdc, you have to spend the time on the range to get the most out of it. I love my 45 caliber encore. 175 grain red hots from knight. I get better velocity than a 30-30 and dam near a 308 winchester.

Whatever you get go with the leupold scope 3-9X40. Much better scope for the money. And they even make the VX1 with the long range reticle for about 219.00
