Friend with me thought i was going to break the ramrod loading it. Not a good hunting gun for me. Went back to my old MK 85 knight and then to a rolling block and now the accura. Had a wolf also this year that worked very good and took a deer. So did the knight. Not a very good trigger on the omega for me.
One of the problems with TC Barrels is they are tight, especially the Triumph, I have a buddy who has a Triumph and he hates it because when were shooting our MLers he has a hell of a time loading after the first shot even with swabbing.
Back to the Topic and Bergara Barrels....I just recently found out how easily the SS ones clen up. I found that I like a slightly fouled barrel for Hunting as it is much more accurate. The other night I shot a Big Doe and I ran a patch down the barrel after firing it and cleaned the breechplug. Befor I ran a patch of Montana X-Treme Bore Conditioner thru it I looked down the barrel and I was suprised at how clean the barrel was after just one shot, actually too clean with just one patch. After a range session the SS bergara Barrel cleans up far easier than any other barrel on any ML I own, no need to even use a Brass Brush or Nylon Brush, just solvent soaked patches, mabey 3 at most and it's clean. I love the Stainless Steel Bergara Barrel.
