I believe what you say Redhawk1. I don't know if that guy has decided to use a 45lc instead of what they factory recommends, I don't know. You were looking at them? What made you change your mind about not getting one? What was the price? I am selling my omega to get the prohunter, but I am going to wait until what TC comes out for next year. This Ultimate smokepole has me interested, but the cost is up there. This guy must have a older model, because his model didn't have a thumbhole stock. It was a synthetic stock.
