Giving my daughter her first rifle of her very own was one of the best moments of the week. She’s excited to take it to the woods this fall.

/ August 18, 2012Nice! I love my Omega. Mine is a solid shooter with a 250gr T/C bonded sabot over two .50/50gr 7-7-7 pellets. My biggest piece of advice: buy a spare breech plug and stick it in the toolbox, or in the car on a hunting trip. Having one get fouled beyond use sucks. (And clean it *thoroughly* after shooting; even with the sugar-based 7-7-7 it gets corroded quickly.) Spit-patch between shots makes loading much easier.

/ August 18, 2012Thanks. I love mine. It’s not as nice as hers, but it does really well at the ranges I shoot. Mine prefers Powerbelts and two 777 pellets. I can’t get sabots down the barrel without flexing the ramrod.
I got her an Omega so we would have commonality in parts and such, plus she has shot mine, so I know she likes shooting it.
