GHog - I have two stainless T/C Black Diamonds - a 26" XR and a 22" standard. Despite some of the drawbacks Cayugad pointed out, these are great guns and shoot really well. There is no crud ring like the Omega, and these guns arelight weight with very comfortable stocks. They also shoot every bit as well as my Omega or Knight Disc rifle. I replaced thered fiber optic rod on the front sight with a green one; and replaced the open rear sight with a Williams peep sight. My only reservation with the Black Diamond would be hunting in very wet weather, which so far I have avoided during the September elk seasons. Good luck. Roscoe
