Initial range report on Omega
Got the Omega barrel back and was really wanting to try the new sight system out. I decided to just start at 75 yards since it wasn't sighted in, then if all went well move back. The sights are definitely to my liking. And there is plenty of elevation adjustment.
here she is in all her glory
the sights :
I loaded up and took the first shot. I used the deer target that my wife was using to get ready for her Refuge hunt. The first shot was very low. you can see it on the bottom of the target in the white. That's when I realized in my haste I didn't bring the allen wrench to adjust the front sight. I decided rather than go back and get it that I would adjust the rear only this time around. I made 1 adjustment , shot, made a second adjustment , shot and then the third and final adjustment .
this is the target . The very bottom hole in the heart is from my wife's practice yesterday s so just ignore it.
after final adjustment I shot a 3 shot group
that's circled here
95gr by weight Blackhorn 209
federal primer
270 Parker e-max and .60 veggie wad
75 yards Open sights. initial sight in. I will probably undo all this and make my front sight adjustment , then fine tune the rear
I put all the info on the target pictures to better explain but it seems that photobucket ain't cooperating.

Haha. I hear ya. I have no interest in shooting a load that stiff, even if I had a rifle that could do it. Beautiful rifle, I hope you get to break her in on some game soon
