Default RE: TC Omega Vs. Knight Revolution

I just bought a Knight Revolution II stainless with black stock and forearm from cabelas. It has an excellent trigger pull on the quick detatchable trigger assembly and overall quality is excellent. The barrel is 27" and in .50 caliber. The rifle of course is set up for their red discs and they even supply a tool for loading them now which you would usually have to buy seperately. I looks like a set of polymer pliers. The cost was 369.99 originally, but after a 20.00 rebate and using my cabelas cash points on my card of 24.69, I got the rifle for 339.05 with shipping. Cabelas is also offering a real nice hunting knife for free(49.99 value) if you purchase a Knight Revolution until December 2006. They are also offering this on the Omegas. The knife comes in a leather sheath and is extremely well made. If you buy any Knight from Cabelas before june 30th you can order a Knight Wolverine blued/black .50 caliber youth value pack for 100.00 from Knight with proof of purchase. This has a value of around 300.00. I think this is a pretty good deal. I just sent mine out to Knight. One thing I really like about the Revolution I didnt know about, is you can change barrels on it. All you do is take off the forearm and remove the bolt holding the barrel to the receiver and simply remove the barrel. Knight is offering extra barrels in .45 and their new .52 caliber. Their retail on them is about 262.00. I havent had a chance to shoot it yet since I just got it, but I am very pleased with how it shoulders and the overall quality of the rifle. As for service, the ramrod that came with it had the tip trying to pull out so I called customer service and they said we will get one right out to you without even asking for the other one to be sent to them. When it comes down to choosing an Omega or Revolution you just have to look at what you want in your rifle. They are both good rifles with good customer service. The Knight was 369.99 compared to 439.99 for the Omega that is comparable to it(stainless/black). Im sure you may find the Omega cheaper elsewhere if you look. Im not sure. The Knight uses the red discs and the Omega doesnt, this may affect your decision. The one thing I have always liked about Knight rifles is their synthetic stocks are usually solid unlike the hollow ones that TC uses, unless they have changed this in the Omega stocks. My Firehawk is hollow as well as the stock on my Encore but they still shoot. They are just more noisy when something rubs against them. Whatever you choose, im sure either one will serve you well. Good Luck!!!!!
