Whitehair-I have heard good things about the sidekick,but never shot one.I owned an Optima and sold it.IMHO spend a few more $$$ and buy the Omega.You will never regret it.

H & R Sidekick blued-wood for $159.... otherwise add another $90 to the $229 price of the SS Sidekick & buy the Omega instead. The Optima has nice looks & shoulders well, but the soft barrel steel & bullet/powder grain restrictions found in the manual turn me right off.

RE: Which One?
I do like the looks and feel of the Sidekick. I actually had a chance to shoot one and it was a very nice rifle to shoot. The accuracy was exceptional. The rifle impressed me overall. I have never shot an Optima although I have handled them.
