While I appreciate the speculation and feedback on my Omega, I am less interested in continuing to try and diagnose the issue with it. I haven't yet decided if I will keep it and try to fix and have two or just get rid of it.
I'm from Utah and our regs are wide open now. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have a rifle I could use in Colorado if I chose to hunt there with my muzzleloader.

I apologize...I miss spoke here. I haven't been able to find a Knight with the bare primer ignition system in it and not sure how hard it would be to either convert the disc system over or find one already installed. I have also read regarding some the headspace issues and I'm really not looking for a project so much as something that shoots out of the box and meets my desire for BH209. I also wonder how difficult it is to get the primer on and off.
I have also read that the Pro Hunter can be a bear to clean with a scope on it as it makes it difficult to access the trigger area as the bp doesn't seal off blowback.
I know CVA has made improvements over the years, but I'll admit it is hard to get past some of their former issues and past quality concerns.
Again, if you have experience with these guns or even one I haven't listed. I am interested in hearing why. I am currently leaning more towards the Knight, but am not firm in that direction.
I've seen the disc extreme in a .52 as well and wonder if there would be any reason to go with it over a .50.
