RE: Sighting in the Nikon Omega
No this rifle shot a few Hornady FPB's but never a conical. Also I never did anything like steel wool, or even JB Bore Paste. This rifle was just a good one I guess. I do wish it had the fluted barrel. I saw one of them and it really made me want one. But this is going to work just fine.
The Omega Scope was technically as expensive as the rifle. I kind of get a kick out of that. The eye relief on this scope is sure nice. I don't even worry about a scope kiss.
