RE: Buying new ML - Which one?
I bought a T/C Omega .50 cal. and I really like it a lot. I hunted with a Renegade for a long time, and the traditional look of the Renegade and the Hawken is really cool. However, for ease of use, reliability, care and clean-up, the new break action in-lines can't be beat. I went with T/C because of the company's outstanding reputation. It was expensive at $359.00, and I could not afford to buy a scope with the gun, but that will come with time. The gun is very light weight and accurate.
So, the Omega would be a good choice if you don't mind spending the $$$. Other inlines are good too, of course, but in my opinion, it is a good service to our country and our economy to buy an American product like T/C, or Knight. But that is just my 2 cents.
