MY Omega trigger was a little rough when I first got it. I took it apart and stoned it. I stoned the sear (just a little). Now it a very smooth trigger and crisp.

You could obviously have the trigger worked on if you feel it necessary...

Mine has a four pound trigger (tested with a gauge) and has 0 creep, I personally am very fond of mine right out of the box... Anyone else feel the same, it seems like a lot of people want to do trigger work to theirs?

Mine was 3.14 lbs out of the box with no take up. Absolutely the best trigger I own. The next are my Knights at around a 3.4 pound setting with a slight take up. I've already decided that if I ever have to send my barrel in for anything, that Omega trigger is staying with me.

I have never felt a better "muzzleloader" rifle trigger, yet. Omega's have a nice crisp trigger.

Of the two I have experienced, one had a decent trigger although a little heavy for my tastes. The other's was horrible, heavy and crunchy with takeup. I disassembled/reassembled several times, honing the contact surfaces a little at a time. Pretty shaky operation as the unit is only sold as a complete assembly and is expensive - so if you try it yourself, go slow and easy. It would be very easy to mess up big time and wind up with a trigger that won't stay cocked or one that will not ever engage in the cocked position. That's one trigger that should only be tweaked if absolutely necessary and then I recommend you send it back to T/C for the work.

I like the pull, but dislike how the trigger jumps forward after you pull the trigger. Several times it has roughed up my trigger finger. I have never had another trigger that did this and don't know why they designed this trigger that way.
