I'd go with the T/C omega. These are some very accurate muzzleloaders. Despite the claim by one of the previous posters I have never heard of any problems with the Omegas breaking easily or needing more repairs than other muzzleloaders. In fact my experiences and what I have been told is just the opposite. My friend runs a sporting goods store and he has less toubles by far with T/C muzzleloaders thanany other brand he sells. I have also noted that Omegas tend (on average) to be more accurate than cheaper CVA muzzeoaders.
