RE: muzzleloaders
Yes.. the Omega is everything that' s advertised. The only negative posts I' ve found recently concern hollow areas in the synthetic stock that echo a noisy tree branch slapping it & the need to buy a sub 12" length scope due to it' s short stock/rearward drilled & tapped mount holes.
The ML/S700 has a couple of serious issues. Bolt removal may draw blood from the owner. Also, Remington Inc. should offer vises on the bp accessories webpage... that' s what' s needed to remove the bolt.
Also, low mounted scopes on the Remingtons have been literally fire-scortched/melted due to blowback upon ignition. A better bolt/plunger-action buy in the $300 price range would be a nicely dressed Knight Wolverine II 26" .
