I guess I was hoping that nobody or at least few would read your orginal postor even read your follow-ups if pglasgow and I pretty much ignored the subject and carried on another conversation.

On this forum I would like to and it has been in the past say we (I believe it is we) try very hard not to bash someone else's choice in guns. This has been a great open forum we are able to discuss old guns, new guns, good guns - not so good guns, but we try not to drag any through the trash.

As has been said you are entitiled to your opinion and I am allowed mine - but there must be a better way to present your argument than in the manner you have chosen. Your past track record may not be helping either on other occasions you have been very pointed to explain or exclaim your 150 as the best gun out there at the expense of others. I think everyone on here believes (and should) in their gun and their choice.
Some of us have been fortunate enough to use and shoot many different guns and we still have our own personal choices... I, like you,really dislike the size of the trigger guard on my Omega, but I knew that going in, and there are so many other positives about the gun they outweigh the negatives. I think you have made that descision about your 150 - while other see negatives you probably believe there are none.

Cayugad is probably the greatest diplomat on the forum he should be a politician but I know he has his beliefs that always do not jive with mine, but I certainly would not "trash" or what ever your terms were in you original post his thoughts.

But back to what i really wanted to ask... looking at your pictures of your 150 it really does look a lot like my Firebolt. Do you have one or two recoil lugs? Is the base inside your stock along the ram rod pretty much hollow? or has it been filled - mine has little pockets with dividers along the ram rod area. While I do not think my Firebolt came floated that is what I ended up doing because I could not keep equal pressure on the stock as the forearm was really pretty flexible... I really wish i had the gun here but it is in Kennewick. I would like to get some pics for you to compare. I am wondering if your stock might fit the Firebolt - think I will try to e-mail CVA and see what they say.

Contiued good luck with your 150
