Default Omega got new glasses

I bought a Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 Ballistic Plex for another gun but decided the Omega .45 needed an upgrade. Targets were shot at 50yds getting the scope where I want it for 100yd shooting. Load was 105gr BH209, 200gr Midway SST Blem in a Harvester light blue sabot.


3 shots one after another. No cool down. Win209 primers


Scope adjustment and 5 shots one after another. No cool down. 4shots with Fed209A's and 1 with a Win209.


I might not even shoot it at 100yds.
5 shot group for Semi and the barrel was smokin!!

Very nice scope. It sure makes the outfit look sharp. I never used a Burris scope, but from all I have read, they are top quality. In fact one of the stores that send me a magazine has a Burris 2-7x32mm I believe it is on sale. I have thought of getting it just to put on a nice rifle to play with. And that is some great shooting. You have a real winner there.
