WHICH IS THE BETTER GUN
Well i stop by one of the local gun shops and checked out the Thompson Center Omega Muzzlelader with a Thumbhole stock and camo the price on it was was $460 something. And i looked at the Thompson Center Encore with a muzzle loading barrel and fully camo with thumb hole stock it was $560. Just wondering if these are reasonable prices for these guns and which is the better gun. Both guns felt really good. Which one would work best with deer hunting. I really like the Encore being able to change the barrel out.

RE: WHICH IS THE BETTER GUN
both of those sound like good deals, especially wiht the thumbhole stocks. I am guessing they were also stainless stell barrel. As for which rifle is better, they both will shoot great. The encore you can change out barrels down the road. If that is something that appeals to you, then you have your own answer. As for whether they are reasonable prices, I better not comment as I have not priced those model out too much.

RE: WHICH IS THE BETTER GUN
well its funny you ask thost barrels were camo. I looked at the inside of the barrel and it is blued which actually worries me. I have always had stainless barrels. Reason being is because easier to keep from rusting. Blued will rust a hole lot easier. If i get them that would be a concern of mine. But i keep my guns super clean though. Anyone have any trouble with blued barrels on muzzle loaders.

I have an Encore. I like the feel and it fits me a little better than the Omega. You can't go wrong with either. Both are extremely accurate.
If you go with the Encore, here's your warning: THEY ARE ADDICTING!!!!! Once you get one you'll be hooked.
