Default Zombie Omega

I might have to give the Zombie Omega a chance to hunt , I took it out today and had a decent 125 yard group . Decent for me anyway ,especially without a scope .
50 cal Omega
SeeAll sight with delta reticle
100 gr Blackhorn
260 gr Scorpion PT Gold
Federal primer
125 yards
After 6 years I drew a coveted buck tag for the Wildlife Refuge hunt in October . I might even try it there although I am leaning toward the Super 91 with Lyman peep sight and Ed's 465 gr bullet or the 1:20 knight with 1x scope . No magnification allowed here since it's a muzzleloader hunt
Or maybe a 45 cal Tryon Creedmore 1:21 twist
Decisions decisions .

Dang that thing is green. Not bad shooting at all for open sights. Both would have been a dead whatever you shot at.

How about the 1:20 AppleJack ?
I put a single power Vortex on the Knight 1:20 AppleJack just in case I go that direction

sighted in the Vortex single power scope I put on Apple Jack.
I was pleased over all since the cross hairs are so wide it completely covers the target .



this was the 100 yd group




I moved the reticle 2 clicks left and then decided to try one shot from 200. I figured one shot is all I would get anyway, so for the fun of it I took the shot and decided it was dead deer.




Knight Disc 1:20 Lehigh conversion bare primer
glass bedded in a Boyd stock
Vortex 1x scope
100 gr BlackHorn
260 gr Dead Center
fed primer
