hi i own both an optima pro and a t/c omega and i love them both. id sayi like the omega better because the way it seals and the pivoting block is a really cool feature but they are both good muzzle loaders and another i may suggest is the kodiak 209 by cva its the same as the omega but cheaper i havent personally shot one but they look to be good just what ever you do DONT BUY A KNIGHT NEVER EVER!! that jacket business is a joke. and i have had a lot of guys come to me and wonder if they can get the front site put back on their knights cuz it just falls of while they are hunting. i give harold knight a lot of credit for starting the inline muzzleloader rebirth but his company has been left in the dust by the rest.
