Magnum Capabilities for Long Range Shooting The Omega can handle 150 grains of Black Powder or Pyrodex equivalent, or (3) 50 grain Pyrodex® Pellets. With its 28" barrel, it burns magnum charges with maximum efficiency, producing higher velocities over standard length barrels. This translates into flatter trajectories and increased down range energies. |
Thompson/Center Arms WINNER -- Scott Marrocco of Batavia, NY
No.8928 Omega .50 Caliber, 28" Round Barrel, 209 Primer Ignition, Stainless Steel with Composite Stock in REALTREE Hardwoods Camo Pattern T/C's OMEGA will revolutionalize the way hunters think about muzzleloaders for years to come. Simplicity is elegance It's sleek profile and its sealed pivoting breech lever action design make this muzzleloader one of the simplest and no nonsense muzzleloaders on the market...Simple to operate; Simple to clean. Sealed Pivoting Breech Design The Omega's unique action operates by using the forward motion of the trigger guard lever to pivot the breech block downward, allowing easy access to the 209 primer pocket. Once primed, the lever is pulled rearward, raising the breech block and sealing the breech. This closed breech design protects the 209 primer from rain, snow or sleet. Simple to Operate Once the Omega has been loaded and primed, firing the rifle is accomplished by merely cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger. The patented hammer and trigger mechanism permits the hammer to make contact with the primer only when the trigger is fully pulled rearward. Like all hammer guns, getting the Omega into action is fast! Faster and Easier to Clean Cleaning the Omega is as simple as it gets. Pivot the breech block down; unscrew the breech plug; clean. No further disassembly is necessary. No bolt to remove, no barrel to remove and the stock can be left on. Super Reliable The Omega is a closed breech muzzleloader, which protects the 209 primer from foul weather. Its sealed breech plug is specifically designed to avoid the problem of crushing Pyrodex® Pellets, which could cause a misfire. Donation Value: $449.99 |
