Default knight disc or tc omega?

I need help deciding between these two guns. Which is easier to clean and maintain? Also what has been your experience with either guns?

You really need to shoulder both first! The Omega is easiest to clean & with it' s shortened stock, is better suited for small & medium build shooters(6' & under).

The Disc Mag is not Knight' s latest version. That design has been upgraded twice with the Disc Extreme and most recently the Disc Elite. I personally own the Omega & I' m very pleased with it. I chose the Omega over the Extreme or Elite because I like a stock that drops from the neck & most Knights are straight as a brand new 2X4 bought from any lumber yard.

I agree with Triple Se7en, you need to get your hands on those models and shoulder them. The other day I got to handle a CVA Optima at Wal Mart and I must tell you, I did not like the way it shouldered. The T/C Black Diamond on the other hand fit me real nice. As for ease of cleaning, I have no experience on that. I still use sidelocks and as we all know they are a bear to clean sometimes. Although since I switched the one rifle over to only Triple Se7en powder I can not believe how fast I can clean it. It cleans up so fast I am always afraid I did something wrong, and still run patches through it to double check it. Good luck on what ever you pick!

I had a Remington ML700 (bolt style ML) and sold it. Bought an Encore (same basic barrel/breech plug design as Omega). Encore is MUCH easier to clean due to not having the bolt action reciever and all of its nooks and crannys to gather gook. Makes a big difference when field cleaning because it is vastly faster to remove the breech plug.
On the other hand I' ve never cleaned a Knight, so what do I know?

you definately need to handle both guns and see which fits you best. the T/C is going to be easier to clean, but there is nothing better than a knight.

I' ll second that. I have the Knight DISC and it' s an awesome ML. The T/C is much easier to clean though. Honestly, you can' t go wrong w/ either gun. Just see which fits you better.
