Thompson Center Omega 50 cal.
I ordered it from Cabelas. It's the 50 cal "Thompson Center Omega Thumbhole Rifle with Scope and Starter Kit - All Camo Hardwoods".
It should be here next Thursday, the 17th.
Anyone have any experience with this ML?

Best ML out there in my opinion... I looked at a lot before I ended up with the Omega... To me the only other consideration would be the savage because of the option of smokeless powder, in my mind that is kind of cheating, but some would say that not using real black powder and using a 209 primer is cheating, so what do I know.

I have the same Omega, less the Cabelas scope and love it. The scope from Cabelas will leave a little to be desired but you will already have the rings and bases if you decide to upgrade to better optics.

I will probably upgrade the scope but initially, it will do. I would love to find a camo scope to match the gun.

I like the Omega also. It's just a joy to shoot. I don't have the thumhole model though. I use mine during shotgun deer season in Ohio (no rifle hunting allowed here) and during ML season (although this year, I may take out the Thompson Renegade!)

Don't know if this will help for those looking for a camo scope, but I found a Bushnell. Here the link.

RE: Thompson Center Omega 50 cal.
Simmons makes a camo shotgun scope that is a 1.5-5 power that I put on my camo Omega. The scope is crystal clear and works just great. It has the diamond on the crosshair which I have come to like a lot. I think it was intended for turkey hunting. I have had some Bushnell scopes that I was not very impressed with.
