My second muzzleloader was an Omega. I bought the expensive stainless standard model several years ago before the cheap models came out. It shoots OK but is very picky about what it will accept down the bore which is very tight. When I first bought it there were less available options in sabot thickness. Now you can find the ones that will go down the barrel if you spend the time. My question is why spend a lot of time messing with a picky design like the Omega with barrels that are too tight for standard loaded sabot bullets and will not shoot any conicals other than Powerbelts which cannot be driven at higher speeds without problems? Why not just buy an Accura with the Bergara barrel which will shoot conicals, and accept standard bullet/sabot combinations sold over the counter not requiring a lot of time selecting custom sabots? Or find a NEF Sidekick if you get lucky enough to find one still for sale. Even the Sidekick would require some alteration (new breechplug to mention one thing) to be as good as the Accura as delivered.
