I ordered one in for a freind of mine a couple of weeks ago, after scopeing it thenbore sighting, it was time to test it out, IMPRESSIVE, to say the least, at 100yds it holds a 1 1/4 group useing 150gr Pyrodex pellets, 295gr PowerBelt and those new Remington clean primers. I would put it up against any T/C out there for accuracy, fit and finish is very good also, he got the all camo version at a third of the cost of what a T/C in the same model type would be. I would say, if you want one, go ahead and get it, you wont be dissapointed!.

150 grains pellets and a 295 powerbelt is a horribly load if the deer is closer than 100 yards. Powerbelt recommends mag charges to be used only when you know you will have to shoot Atleast 140 yards.

See the site in my signature to learn more.

Also, I shot these out of a tc omega @ 100 yards with 75 grains Pyrodex P, 295 grain Aerotip Powerbelt, Winchester 777 primers.


Same load as above but with a remington kleanbore primer,

My buddy bought that gun last year and that thing is a great shooting gun,he is shooting 100gr of T7 pellets and a 295 powerbelt.Lot's of people are going to tell you to save your money and get a TC but the Kodiak is a great gun and will shoot with the best of them.Go get one you will be glad you did.(not saying TC doesn't make a great gun but in my opinion the Kodiak and the Optima Pro are great guns aswell.)

Nice shooting muzzleloader. I shoot 100gr of 777, 250gr Hornady SST's, and Winchester 777 primers. All holes touching at 100 yards.

yep, I agree with the "People are going to tell u to save and get a tc"

My Omega shoots 8-9" high @ 50 yards and TC can't even help me out with sights that will correct this! My rear sight is adjusted all the way down!

Lucky i will be able to use a scope this year for hunting during rifle season. In colorado we are allowed to use only open sights during muzzle loading season.

Got to spend the $50 for new sights for next years muzzle loader hunt

I love mine. Don't do any hunting with it yet, but that will change. Well worth it.
