Myself, i much prefer a wood stock. Also, i would rather have a one piece stock than a break action stock. The Omega feels good in my hands.

To me the Triumph breech plug is funky, what with them compression rings that i try to damage, and the o ring. I have installed it without a tool before. I have removed it without a tool before. However most of the time i have to use a tool to install and remove the breech plug. If a scope is mounted the tool furnished by TC cannot be used to install the breech plug; i had to fabricate a tool for to install the breech plug.

The comb of the Triumph stock is two high for my face. If it were not for this, i would probably keep the Triumph. When i shoot the Triumph, it raises a swelling in my cheek low down by my ear. Seems there may be some sort of gland right there, that the rifle smacks when i fire it. Last time i shot it, i shot it 3 or 4 days in a row, and my jaw got swollen, and then liquid leaked out of the swell, and later blood leaked out. It is best i don't shoot it any more.
