I prefer a bolt. I also have an Omega and there really isn't much difference in cleaning time between it and my Disc Extreme. For hunting, my Disc Extreme is easier to work with, reliable and not picky in what it shoots accurately. It's my go-to gun.

i like the quick release bolt on my winchester,i very rarely ever find any blackpowder residue inside it while cleaning out the bolt. Most of the time i just soak the tip of the bolt in my cleaning solution and then wipe the fouling off. Easy to cap so no complaints here about this type of bolt. Guess it just comes down to personal prefrence.

Thanks for all of the input guys!! As of right now, I am kind of leaning in the direction of the break action. I havn't picked any up and actually compared that way, so my opinion may change once I go and start looking hard at them. Im trying to stay under $400 since I bought a new shotgun for $900 back in september! Any body look much at the CVA's?

I prefer the Huntsman or Sidekick from NEF/H&R over the CVA just because it is American and backed by an actual manufacturer. CVA is just a marketing firm that does not make anything.They just buy rifles from Spain. The Huntsman or Sidekick has a couple of things I changed. I bought a replacement ramrod from Hubbards to replace the stock rod that has some problems ($35 additional) and I bought the .25ACP conversion breechplug which I prefer over 209 primers. That also fixes the strange removal tool that comes with the stock breechplug. If interested that is almost $60 more for the conversion. So you see there is not a perfect solution to your problem. Personally I like the Huntsman and would do the same thing again but it is not a cheap rifle with the fixes. If you are going to scope the rifle you also need to check out the stock design to be sure it will work with a scope. Mine is set up with a scope and a scope style raised comb stock.
