Default Breech plug wrench w/scope

I have a scope mounted on my TC Omega and have been using the standard breech plug wrench that came in the original box. However, this wrench is rather short and the scope prevents a complete turn of the wrench which makes it rather time consuming to remove the breech plug.

I've done a little searching online but can't seem to find a wrench that will fit the gun where the wrench is long enough to allow enough clearance for the scope. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
kmhawkinson

Yep, it's called Sears Hardware. Get yourself a 1/4" drive rachet with extension bar and a 7/16"socket to fit the breech plug. Thats what I use for my Encore and really not much more in weight to carry with you.

I keep a short 1/4 ratchet & socket in my ML tackle box. If my ML leaves the house, so does that tackle box.

With a long 7/16 socket and extension the scope isn't even in the way on my Omega.

Thanks for the feedback. I was under the impression that the breech plug was a more non-standard size.
