Question for Omega Owners
I finally had time to sight in New Omega and Nikon Omega combo, Awesome!!! By 4th shot it was cloverleafing... Now my question, do you guys use your ramrod with the circular cuts on jag end or turn over and have circular cuts at top, I imagine the barrel is a lot harder than rod but it concerned me putting that rough rod in my barrel

RE: Question for Omega Owners
I used to screw the jag on to the end with out the ribs but then broke my jag off and the thread stuck in the ram rod end.
The end with the ribs is recessed at better supports the jag when screwed into the rod. Yeah I don’t like the ribs rubbing either but I don’t think it will hurt the barrel. Just oil up the areas in the rod that get rubbed as they may be more susceptible to rust. I have the same scope as you, really like it so far, but I don’t like using 150 g’s Anyone know the real answer to his question? I just stated what I like to do. |
RE: Question for Omega Owners
There are a lot of ways ,Ihave tried most of them. As L. Clementmentioned it is easier to break off the jag on the small end. After experimenting for a couple of years this is what I ended up doing, I carry a range rod for all my range shooting one of the new high density polyurithane one, the solid aluminium one that came with the gun I carry hunting on the big end I use blue lock tight and put one of the short jags that come with the T handle short starter kit I also carry a T handle short starter so if I need to for some reason I can take the bullet starter off thae T handle and screw it on to the ramrod and make an temporary range rod.

RE: Question for Omega Owners
I use the larger end so I can have a jag on the gun while hunting. But on the range I use a range rod.

RE: Question for Omega Owners
Use the smaller end but now that I have a power rod I use their brass end . The big end is so that you can get a good grip on when you are in the woods .

To be honest with you, I usually ditch the stock ram rod and build one to fit with a TC Super Jag installed on the end. Wal mart has a Flint Ridge (TC company) Ram Roads that you build to the length that you want - so I buy one of them and the brass super jag, which has a patch jag, and a bullet depression in the end also that will allow you loadmost any bullet with out marring the bullet. Here is a pic of a built ram rod on a traditional gun... |
RE: Question for Omega Owners
When I broke my jag I wasn’t pushing hard it juts got week and then bent, tried to lightly straiten and that’s when it broke off.
