unless you intend to utilize the encore for its several purposes, purchasing one just for a ml is pricy. I have owned both the omega and triumph. I liked the triumph better due to it being easier to prime that the omega due to the hinge opening verses the drop breech. If you are caught up in the easy remove breech plug rather than using a socket, then the triumph is good. However it is almost as expensive as the encore. I would recommend you take a good look at the new impact. I purchased one a month ago for 250 brand new. Same t/c warranty and it shoots as well as my encore triumph or omega or encore ever did. In fact is shoots better than the omega ever could. I would recommend it to anyone. it also has an adjustable stock to allow for a shorter LOP. I shoot 90 grains of blackhorn 209 and a 250 grain round nose lead bullet in a harvestor crush rib sabot. it shoots clover leaf groups at 100 yards. I guess what I am saying there is no one model better than the others. it is all in what you plan to do with it, and what options you want as well as how much do you want to spend.
