If your serious about making a purchase, you have made a fine choice as far as I'm concerned. I'm brand new at the ML sport and just bought an Omega z5 early in November. Our ML seasonfollows the regular firearms season and lasts about 8 days. I hunted three days and was able to take a doe and a real nice 8pt. The Omega is absolutelysimple to use and maintain. It also is as accurate as a centerfire out to 200yds. I'm shooting mine with 2-777 pellets and a 250gr T/C ShockWaveand getting moa groups at 100. I've been very impressed with it.

Good Luck, s6
