What he said ^^^

I looked at all options before I finally settled on an Omega as my first ML and I've never regretted it. I haven't even considered buying something different.

The stock fits me well for a both peep or a low mounted scope. There are other MLs that my friends have (with scopes) that I've shouldered and they don't fit me at all.

An Omega is a well built solid choice and it shoots sabot projectiles extremely well.

Omegas are nice for sure. The one I had shot real well. Only thing I didn't really like was the tupperware stock. The wood stocks are much better, imo.

I personally own a bunch of Knights. Top quality USA made and they drive tacks. You can purchase a brand new .52 Disc Extreme for $400. That is a great price for an upper end production rifle. Tons of bullets that can be shot in that rifle also. Just a thought fwiw.

I would say for First Timer status and not knowing if you will continue down the smokey road, go OMEGA.


Enjoy the hunt while it lasts!

My cousin purchased a TC Impact for our Kansas Muzzleloader hunt last year and I was impressed with the way it handled and shot. I like the fact that the breeching levers are on top the receiver like my H&R Sidekick. I highly regard both the Impact and the H&R. H&R's are nolonger being made.

Good Choice. My cousins Impact is one helluva good shooter.
You also don't have to worry about an underneath type breeching lever being inadvertently knocked open when walking in thick cover. My nephews CVA is easily opened in the brush.
