Default RE: T/C OMEGA ACCURACY?

I own several different inlines and while the Omega may not be my favorite tonight it sertainly lieves up to it's billing it is great ML.

Accuracy, should not be a problem unless you might be shooting the black sunthetic stock. The stock is flexible and at some point will move into the barrel and cause POI to change. If you have one like I do and you do your homework the gun will shoot great.

I do not shoot designer bullets, can not afford them... for deer I shoot a 260 grain Nosler partion, pushed by 110 grain of T7-2f and/or a 250 grain Speer Gold Dot (more affordable bullet). You can shoot this bullet to 175 yards just by pointing and shooting.200 yards with one these low BC bullets does require a sight adjustment and practice.... For elk I just switch to a 300 grain Nosler .458 or a 300 grain .452 Gold Dot. And they actually have a higher BC so they will shoot fine to200. In fact the Gold Dot has a BC of.232 and the SST has a BC of .250 so for a lot less money you can shoot more.

The longest shot I have taken with the Omega is a 170+ yard shot a small toe head whitetail this past year... I knew it was a longer than normal shoot but it surprised me when i ranged it after the shot.

Omega - great gun with some minor quirks... but probably being replaced by the Triumph although I like the longer barrel of the Omega.... I think the Triumph is 24"....
