To outdoorslover if you have read some of my older posts you would see that I do own an Omega and I am very happy with it. I will say though that it is more picky than the Apex. It shoots the shockwaves, XTP's and Gold Dots really good, and the power belts so so. On the other hand the Apex will shoot those plus conicals and the power belts very well. The Apex also has a solid stock not a hollow stock like the Omega. I personally like solid stocks. My Apex will shoot with any of my buddies Omega any day of the week. I'm glad to hear you are having good luck with your Omega. Keep practicing you will only get better.
