RE: Hoping for some insight
ORIGINAL: outdoorslover Thanks for the help guys. I just broke down and bought the Apex in stainless/black. I couldn't find any reason not to buy it and decided it's exactly whatI want. I am sure I will be completely satisfied. I could not justify paying full price for the Omega with those extras and I think I got the best deal possible. |
RE: Hoping for some insight
I went to Cabela's today and looked at the CVA Kodiak's. I did not ever think I would buy such a gun(the Apex is the same as the Kodiak), but I was definetely wrong about it. The Apex is just like the Kodiak 209 Pro Magnum in blued/stainless except that the Kodiak pro was $310. I loved the gun. It balanced nice, had great sights, was built well, and seems very simple. If it can shoot 3inch groups, I will be absolutely pleased with it. I looked at the Omega and honestly liked the Kodiak better. The Omegaseems like too much money for the gun.If the Apex is anywhere near as nice as the one I looked at I will be perfectly happy without the Omega. I hope it lasts for years as I expect it will. I'll keep you posted.

RE: Hoping for some insight
which rifle did u buy? the apex or kodiak? im blonde and get confused easilyso please forgive me :D. The kodiak and apex are different in ways than looks. apex is i believe 8 1/4lbs while the kodiak is 7 1/2. Apex available with SS barrel, kodiak is nickel. Althought i do believe the kodiak pro is available in SS. But in my honest opinion i think the winchester is higher quality. Just from my experience with my winchester and from reading other reviews on them. I havnt read a bad review yet on either winchester rifle. Either gun, you're getting a great deal. Enjoy the new rifle you bought and please let me know which one lol.

Enjoy the new rifle you bought and please let me know which one lol. They are pretty much the same I think. The action, I am pretty sure , is identical. The breech plug identical. So pretty much the same rifle. I wish I new where the extra weight of the Apex comes from, I suspect the stock. Fine with me, mine's gonna get heavier before I am finished with it. |
RE: Hoping for some insight
yeah same action and all. Im betting the kodiak stock is hollow. What are you adding to your stock to make it heavier? I just did a paper test on my x-150 after i removed the inside paint and very little material and it floats right down to the first lug. I cant wait to shoot it again and see if theres a difference. Number one thing on my list is replacing those plastic sights i put on it, the front is moving around on me a little i noticed. But hell for $20 i needed them that season and they worked. But tell me what you're doing to make the apex heavier lol.
