I own a blued Black Diamond XR. It has a 1.5-4.5x32mm Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn scope on it. I once was talking to a technician at T/C. We were discussing the Omega and the Triumph. He joked and asked me when I was going to get one of them. I told him the day it could out shoot my Black Diamond XR. He then went on to say that while the Black Diamond was a dirty fouling devil, they just flat out shoot! He's right too. Almost anything I want to shoot out of my Black Diamond will shoot well.



1&2 were a different projectile. But you can see what it does with this new bullet I was testing.



This is the BD shooting conical bullets. I use these when I hunt heavy cover.



There is the rifle shooting a very powerful load and excellent quality bullet. Most my shots are 50 yards or less where I live.

I would bet that the Omega can do the same kind of accuracy. Maybe even better. I was shooting a white paper plate off shooting sticks on afternoon at my friend's farm at 150 yards with the BD. I just never saw the need to update. Although I have a lot of other inline rifles to shoot as well.
