lizzard,
I wasn't too much against the Kodiak as I thought (and still do) that it's a nice gun for the money. I even questioned, for a moment or two, whether I really needed to spend the extra money for the Omega, and just settle with what I already had.
Even after ordering it, but before it got here, I still had reservations.........that is until it arrived about 30 mins ago (thanks UPS) and I got to handle it.......great feel factor!
Believe me....considering the sights, trigger pull, and the fit & finish of the overall gun, even down to the regular swivel studs instead of the integral ones on the Kodiak, I have no regrets at all.
For what it's worth, in my particular situation or opinion, the extra money was well spent.
I guess "Triple Seven" was correct regarding this one.
I'm not poo-pooing your decision lizzard, just enthusiastic over my choice and passing it along from one "inline greenhorn" to another.
Happy Shootin'
Bob
