Default Nikon Omega

Iwould like to hear how well the Nikon Omegaand TC Omega work when they are mated together using a 250gn bullet and 150 gn of pellets. Are the bdc circles on the moneyfor their designated yardages? Tell me all the goods and bads.

I'm interested in hearing about this scope's performance as well. I really like the concept, if it does indeed live up to its billing with the circle reticles once sighted in at 100 yards.

There are people in other forums that are using them,and swear by them. I would rather use a standard Mil-Dot scope. It isn't dependant on a certain load or velocity,plus it can be used as a range finder. I have used the Mil-Dot scopes on my varmit rifles for 4 years now,and there's no going back to a regular scope. It is allot more flexable,and just as or amore accurate sighting system. Here's a link that will explain it well. Ron http://www.mildot.com/

I have the Omega scope on my Omega. one of the reasons I got the scope I was tired of getting my nose cracked by the old one. The Eye relief is 5 inches. It is plenty. I have shot it out to 200 yrds. The BDC is right on out to that range. Now the one thing that is on the same lines of a Mildot is that you can use the top, middele or bottom of the ring. The Rings are fine and does not interfere with you veiw. You can also put it right on by increasing or decreasing the power on the scope if you shoot in the open. I am super happy with the scope. Now if I miss this weekend I would have to say it was the scope because I would never miss....lol
