I can not add any more than these fine foks have about your choice of the pro-hunter vs the Knight, I do not own either one of them. I do own and shoot a Omega - I really do like the Omega, but I got to tell you I do NOT find it any easier to clean than my Remingtons. I have almost made the decision to return to the Remington (bolt action) for the next hunting season. The modern break opens and drop breeches are a nice thought and I bought in to it but at this point I really do like the White and the Remingtons - old fashioned guns.

I think some where cayugad mention carring one around all day. Both the Omega and the White have laminate stocks and seem heavy after a few hours (but I am old) - the Omega carries easier (it is also shorter)than the White BUT I do not like the idea of having to pull the hammer back each time I want to take a shot. I am thinking in a blind or a stand that would not be that big of a deal but when you hunting and walking on the ground it does cost you some time.

The old Knight disc and extremes have a great reputation from every report I have ever read. The only drawback for me, if there is one, is the primer carriers you have to load and insert. Theoretically one insert is better than the other - red or orange - you would have to ask someone that knows more than I.
