This is just my opinion; Savage 10ML I am sure is an excellent rifle. I have read some good reviews about it. Perhaps the ability to use smokeless powder is an advantage, I don't see it that way. Since the Savage will shoot conventional black powder and substitutes your only advantage over a T/C Omega is the ability to use the smokles powder. I don't think if you compared them accuracy wise there would be any difference (again, my opinion).

I have no idea about how Savage's customer support or customer service department is or their warranty. I would "guess" it is good. I do know that Thompson Center stands behind their product excellent, and are more then willing to help with any problem you might have with their rifles.

I am sure that both rifles are excellent. Price wise might be a difference, I have not checked. I just ordered the T/C Black Diamond XR, which as I was explained has the same barrel as the Omega. The difference is they are on sale at Cabela's for $229.00. I will use the money I save on this rifle to get a nice scope if the one I currently have is not what I want, and to get the extra stuff that inlines need. I currently have four other sidelocks, so getting into the world if the inline is a new experience for me. The information I was given in the message boards was of great value.

Which ever rifle you pick, welcome to the world of black powder. Believe me, it gets in your blood and you are hooked. This makes hunting a whole new experience.
