harsh? sometimes the truth is harsh! The guy trying to sell the gun said the same thing about the stocks! Im just complaining about the stock, the barrel/sights/drop breech were made nicely but the stock the the omega when shouldered, floated all over the place. the encore was horrible. Almost like trying to shoulder an SKS but with a shorter stock. I couldnt believe the stock on the encore though. Im not the first one to complain about it the guy says. He even had a hard time shouldering it.
