I've got the blued,synthetic one. Love how it handles and balances. Trigger is pretty decent too, maybe 4-5 lb pull, crisp, not too much over-travel. The barrel is TIGHT. I mean really tight at the muzzle. I've got a Disc Elite and thought that it had a tight muzzle until I got the Rolling Block. It's very hard to load most sabot-ed bullets. The only ones so far that loaded without extreme effort are Buffalo Bullet SSB's. Knight, T/C, Hornady sabots were all very hard to load. It seems to be more finicky than my Elite. If I don't spit patch between shots and load 100 gr of powder or less, the groups open up pretty wide. 75 yds is the longest I can get where I do my sight in work, it shoots 1-2" with the moderate loads. Anything over 100 gr of powder opens up to 4-6" or more. I need to try some conicals in it, on another forum I am a member of, many guys report good results with conicals. I also think that the lock time may affect my groups, as I've noticed that I have to really follow through on my form or the groups go pretty wide too.
Compared to the Omega (I had one of those too), it feels more solid to me. The stocks are much better than T/C plastic stocks, and the Knight has a good recoil pad too. My Omega had a lighter trigger, and I think it has a faster lock time. The Omega is still easier and faster to clean, and with the T/C QLA, seating sabots is easier too. My Omega would shoot one hole groups at 75 yds with 120gr of 777 FFFG and the 250 gr Shockwave. That load shot well enough that I never tried anything else, so I couldn't tell you what other loads would do.
The detachable trigger mech of the Knight is nice if you want to clean it every time you shoot. I will say that the tab you depress to get the trigger mech out gouged a hole in my index finger when I was shooting hot loads. It might just be me and how I grip the stock with my small hands. You have to take the trigger mech out to pull the breech plug, whereas you don't have to with the Omega.
Picking between the two for a hunt is a toss up for me, really. I've always been a fan of Knight and I love their stuff. I'm lukewarm about T/C because I've seen a lot of inconsistency with their products, mainly the Encore (forgive me Encore shooters). If I knew that every Omega shot like the one I had, I'd probably pick one for a hunt where I needed the most maintenance free (and easy to clean) gun available. For dangerous game, I would not take my particular rolling block unless I could find and accurate easy to load bullet. With that tight barrel, there is no quick reload on my gun.
I can't say that I'd recommend one over the other, you need to handle both of them and decide what you like. Even though it seems to be quirky, I like my rolling block and how it handles well enough that I think that I'll keep it regardless of how well it shoots at longer range. If it's only good enough for 100 yds, I'll live with it.
