midsouthshooters.com has the new CVA Accura for $288. blue/black. Its based off the TC Triump design but with a better barrel that will do sabots and conicals. Plus a solid stock.
www.budgunshop.com has the CVA Elite ' like the encore that can use a centerfire barrel" For under $300 depending on what you want.

The new Triumph is sort of a super Omega and the best for sabot shooting the White is the best for lead conicals the knight will do every thing except the new non crosive high velocity powder [Black Horn 209] the CVA was good for my business repairing them was a steady source of income till I retired, hopefully the new ones are better.

Depending on the kind of hunting situations you encounter, all of them are going to do the job. The Knight and the T/C would be my first choice. Although if shooting the new Blackhorn 209 was not important, then it would be the Knight. I do not own any of the rifles you mention. But I do own rifles from all three companies. The Knight would be my choice. Then get some sabots and some Triple Se7en 2f powder and some good primers. Perhaps some Shockwaves or Parker Ballistic Extremes, or some Barnes Expanders. Those I will guess should shoot very well in the Knight.
I just like the rolling block design the best, and the Omega Z5 has the lower quality stock and that does not impress me. Now if it were one of the regular Omega models, that might be a different story. Also check some of the classified adds, there are good rifles for sale on them.
