This is a big reason why I got Bestill building me a 45. I am still using the 17/4 Lehigh plug cause his is 416 stainless. But it will be head spaced and stuff accordingly
OK Tom - you have some people that are totally interested in a reborn Omega or what ever name it comes up with... And you could pencil me in for a 1/24 - 50 because it is more versatile to a larger group of people and a 1/20 - 45... that might rival Idaho Ron's Hot Rod Renegades... No competition in the market place right either as Chet said!

Dang do it!

But it was my ideal! let's have a

He has already suggested that to me only you and I put the money up and he gets to be in the front seat of the vehicle....

It is your idea and I like it. More so then the break action. You know what I'm gonna do so you can start anytime you want. I'll be there in a month or so.

This Omega idea is going to keep me from jumping ship and making that MR better everyone thinks I hate.

Ok so this is going to get me in more trouble... the Omega of old is better the MR of today well at least the Optima that I have dinged around with...

But think if you put a GOOD tapered SS barrel on that (take away the TC barrel) and with the other corrections already discussed - GEE WOW!

You know I even think it might be somewhat less expensive to build over all. No machining two pieces for a hinge - a one piece CNC cut stock.

I really want one or two.

I really need to sneak this in also think about how it might be converted to a Western - just sayen

Plus you need to tell Terry that this was all your ideal and that I need one of each....

Make it strong enough that I can shoot 150 gr of Blackhorn pushing a sabotless bullet at 2500 fps if I want to .

I'm sorry Muley, I meant Sabotloader. He goes by Mike and Pete.

What weight of bullet? If it is a normal bullet probably not much of a problem...

That is why I said a 'good' barrel
