Of those mentioned I think I would go with the NEF Sidekick. For no other reason then the company that makes them has been making that action for a long time. Also I have had a chance to handle the Sidekick and it is a nice shouldering rifle. All reports are they are great shooters out of the box.

RE: Its about that time...
Sorry it took me so long to get back-
Im really starting to like the Wolverine. It does have the 26" barrel, but im not sure if it has sights or not. If it doesnt, I will probably buy a set to install myself. (I use see-thru mounts)
The Wolverine 209 uses a DISC doesnt it?
-Thanks

RE: Its about that time...
Of the three, I had an Optima.
I liked it, did what I asked of it and really can't say one negative thing about it. But, Last year I sold it and bought an encore.
Won't ever look back, it is like a Ferrari compared to a Volkswagon. Did it cost allot? Yup, but you get what you pay for.
I know this really didn't answer your question.
But, in the end, you get what you pay for and if you pay $550 bucks for an Omega or Encore now that lasts for ten years, or $250 for a gun you might grow out of in 3 or 4 years, which is better?

Just an observation here.
With proper care and maintenance, even the bottom of the line ML should last many years, to decades, to generations+ depending on how much you shoot and how well you care for the weapon.
I've never thrown an ML away in 35+ years. My oldest (a T/C Hawken 50cal kit) is worn but the bore is excellent and it still shoots fantastic.
While I do agree completely that the Optima is no Encore or Omega, I fail to see why one would need to be discarded unless it was not properly taken care of?
With proper care, an ML barrel should be good for tens of thousands of shots.
