Thanks fellas.
Well sounds like a break open may be the way to go. So now let's talk guns.
If possible in my price range, I'd like to get a rifle without the BPI barrel. I'm not convinced they are not safe but I'd like to take as few chances as possible.
Now for a twist. I received a $250 gift certificate to Walmart as a gift to get the gun. So i'm limited to purchasing it there. Im going to have to use open sights until i can save up for a scope so it looks like this year will be an open sight hunt.
I saw a TC Black Diamond Express in Camo for $249. Comes in a kit with some cleaning products etc. But I don't think it is a break open.
I saw a TC Omega for $269 but was on lunch today and didnt have time for anyhone to show it to me so I don't know the exact model of the Omega. It was up pretty high and I couldnt see much.
Any advice would be helpful in choosing a gun
I was at my local Walmart today and saw exactly the same prices. I also did not get a good look at the Omega but it did not specifically say Z-5 on any of the obvious stuff although it could have been. It looks exactly like my Omega except that it was blue not stainless and had a black synthetic stock. Looks like a deal at the price. I think the decision to get the Omega is a good one. I like mine but have to be really careful selecting bullets as most load very hard. Mine does not like 777 either. It loves Black Mag'3 and shoots great with Pyrodex also.
