Default RE: Inline conical shooters?

I need to tell you I have not read each and every post in this thread, but I would like to share one thought.

If you plan on hunting Colorado for a few years and you do not plan on hunting other states that might allow sabots/bullet combinations, then I really do not think I would jump into an Omega. I have one and I love butI know that it probably willnpt shot conicals well. So my recommendation would be to get a known conical shooter. There are a lot on Knights out there (the older ones) that are quite capable of shooting conicals. I truly do not have anything against CVA or Traditions, but the chance to get a Green Mountain barrel or a spanish barrel I think I would easily go with the GM barrel.

Recently I ordered a GM SS LRHbarrel with a 1/28 twist that I dropped in to one of my Renegade stocks - that barrel is a sweet conical shooter. I am shooting 460 grain Bullshops from it and they are accurate abd devastating. For me this realy hard to say that I like the thought of a 460 grain conical - I really do prefer light, fast, and flat bullet (to many years of rifle hunting) - but since Idaho changed their rules this bullethas risen to the top for me. It is a slip fit conical, no short starter needed, the bullet is built with precision, it is round and consistent in weight and theBC is up there beyond any of GP conicals.

The GM barrel will shoot this just fine.... as an added thought PM Cayugad and check with him, he has a couple of Knights that I am sure he has shot conicals from.

Just my random thoughts....
