The Omega has a better ramrod and anequal if not better trigger. I really liked not having to use the red or in my case orange primer discs. The primers would just fall right out after the trigger assembly would fall.
The things that didnt meet my expectations are only two. The stock in my opinion is sub par. The hand swell is very narrow and doesn't fill the palm. (I have medium to small hands) The other has to do with the trigger assemply and the primer. I had a couple of primers hang up in the swing mechanism. Theoretically I believe it may be possible over time that a spent or attempted to load primer could fall between the trigger assembly and the stock cause a difficult to clear jam.
Those are some mighty fine rifles there
I like thedrop action design alot also. I was wondering how the Omega did for letting the primers loose, great to hear it did well with that. My Apex has a similar drop action. One thing I did to prevent the primers from falling under the barrel (between barrel and trigger assembly block) was to spin the rifle so trigger guard was up. Pull and the primers popped out like they were ejected!
Also I noticed that the spentprimers were capable of sealing and I could feel myself compressing air as I loaded ballets when spent primers were in the plug. The seal was good enough that the compressed air could lift the bullet and my light aluminum range rod. As a matter of safety, I began removing the spent primer immediately after firing, before swabbing and reloading.
I am also interested the Omega. I am curious, does any blowback soot foul the breech area?
