I have an Omega (older stainless one) and am pleased with the performance with sabots and synthetic black powders other than Tripple Seven which my Omega will not shoot without a severe crud ring. If my state allowed smokeless powder I would have a Savage as I like the company and the convenience of using smokeless would be a big advantage for hunting. The White is great if you want to shoot big conicals and standard black powder or Pyrodex; I don"t have one but would like to add one to my mix at some time. I also have an NEF which is quite a nice rifle considering the low price and great once I replaced the breechplug with the 25ACP conversion one.
