RE: new to black powder
In addition to several T/C rifles, I also own a Remington Genesis .50 caliber rifle. It is a pretty nice gun, and costs a little less than a T/C Omega. Mine seems to have a good barrel and a decent trigger as well. But like many "domestic" guns these days, it is made overseas. Appears to be very similar to a Traditions Yukon, which I understand is made is Spain.
