My hammer on my Omega wouldn't hold back so sent it into TC right after Christmas. I got my Omega back from TC factory about a month ago but didn't have a chance to shoot it until today. have Leoupold QD Mounts, so I put it back together and shot today at 50 yards at 5 power (I have a Bushnell Elite 3200 3x9 on it).I wantto see how the new trigger assembly would worked. I swabbed between each shot with rusty duck and a dry patch. Shot 100g 777 loose, with Harvester Crushed Rib sabot and Speer Gold Dot 300g. Here is the result.

WOW!! I bet you were pleased with that. How did the trigger job come out?

Have you tried any MMP-3p-Ez load sabots yet. When I was doing some testing and comparing - I remember I got better velocity from the 3p's. I would have to dig back into the targets or the gun book to find the numbers, but I do remember I had less velocity loss with the 3p's...

I was very pleased. In fact I found it hard to believe, since I only have 1 set of Quick Detach mounts and they are on the Omega, but they worked perfect. The trigger is nice and crisp feels good.

Yes, I wish I could shoot 100 as well as I can shoot 50. the trigger seemed nice and crisp but I think it is a bit more to pull it. I have not tried the MMP-3P-EZ, since I have about 6 packages of Crushed Rib. I did do the cleaning on my cleaning ram rod with the Spin Jag, and that was really really slick. Thanks for the tip on that. Chap Gleason

Agreed. I consider 3" groups at 100 yards good shooting. 2" groups are unatainable to me at 100 yds, at 50 yards, sure with a scope.When you start getting at 5" or 6", then I think something is wrong. I have had that happen and it was a loose mount. I buy the bestLeoupould mounts now, and have never had a problem. Chap

I used to consider 6 inch groups good shooting[X(]. Now I think of 3 or 4 inches pretty good at 100 yards---OR 50 yards. Like I said, I can't shoot so great at 50 butat least I'm always consistent from there.
I shoot solely with open sights so I'm not sure what I could expect with a scope.
