I have botha SS Omega and a blued Omega... I have both the grey/black laminate stock and the black synthetic. I prefer the black synthetic over the laminate stock.
The laminate stock is slick when wet, it adds undo weight to the gun, the stock is bulky thick for my hands - but it is certainly stronger than the black synthetic, but,, the black synthetic is an easily fixed problem.
I do prefer the Omega over the Triumph only for one reason - I am not fond of a break open design... It is my personal belief that the break opens are harder to keep zeroed and do not shoot as tight as a one piece gun, over the long period of time... just me.
Check this string out...
