You can't do much better than the renegade regardless of what people say. I will be carrying mine in Colorado this fall. As far as being waterproof, you can't get mine wet. I have a Kap Kover on the rear and it is totally waterproof and acts as a safety as well. Add a muzzle mitt up front and no rain can get in.
If you want an inline, by all means don't let me talk you out of it. I have 4 myself! If you can shoot sabots, you can't beat the design or waterproofness of the T/C Omega or Encore. But don't buy one if you think you want to shoot conicals. Some will shoot them, some won't. They will replace the barrel if it won't shoot sabots well, but won't guarantee conicals. Most of the Knights (extreme, mountain hunter) will shoot both and the CVA accura or Apex are good shooters for both.
So kind of depends on whether you will be hunting where sabots and scopes are legal or if you will be using open sights and/or conicals.
