Do not get me wrong I to like BH but it is just to expensive for me to shoot as much as I shoot, or use to shoot and hope to start shooting again, now that I have retired again - except I need to get through my football coaching assignment at the local school.
The advantages that you all are getting from BH are a non-factor for me because I do not get the "crud ring." Another thing and I may be wrong but so far it is working for me - the corrosivness that worries a lot of people with T7is not a concern. I shootthe rifle I am going to use prior to hunting season, maybe 3/5 times... swab the barrel with a couple of windex patches, couple of dry patches - and one lightly oiled Slip 2000 patch and it will remain that way all season until I shoot it again, then the sequence starts over again. At the end of the hunting season - January - I will remove the barreled action, the breech plug strip clean it.
I also bought a thumbhole for the Omega - I really never thought I would like a thumbhole - I am so old fashioned - but I really do like shooting the thumbhole - I'll let you know about hunting with it later in October.... I kept both regular stocks just in case...
