Default RE: TC Omega Vs. Knight Revolution

The CVA is an entry-level model that are sometimes reported on sites like this asaccuracy-inconsistent & have inferior warranties compared to the Knights and T/Cs. WWhat that means is you may get a good one (or) you may get one that shoots only certain bullets well (or) one that shoots poorly. They sport Spanish steel barrels that some posters here feel may be"softer" than the American-steel barrels from T/C and Knight. The concerns over 'softer" are basically when shooters make mistakes loading the rifle -- like short-seating the bullet (or) pouring-in too much powder accidently.

Accuracy concerns exist with any rifle. It's just the odds of getting a good shooting Omega & Knight Disc are greater than CVAs/Winchesters (just my opinion).

I have found/read from others here that the Omegalikes just about any loose powder brandon the market -- other than Black Mag-3 (again my opinion).Personally, I recommend FFF loose with any brand you choose. My favorites for that rifle are 777, Pyrodex, Goex, and American Pioneer (Shockey Gold & Goex Pinnacle being relatives of APP.)

It likes just about any short or long bullet from 180-375 grains. If the sabot is difficult to load, substitute the original-packageplastic sabots for either Harvester regulars, Harvester Crush-Ribs, MMP 3-petal or MMP HPH-24s.

Tryaround 75 grains with the 180s, 85 grains with 200-240 grain bullets, 90-110 grains with 250-375 gr. bullets. I like buying bulk Hornady XTPs or Speer Gold Dots with Harvester plastic sabots. Also like the Buffalo S.S.Bs in 285 & 375 gr. Barrel is always dry & swabbed with something like Windex or Alcohol in a small spray bottle.
