Guest Finn Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Should be here soon and I can't wait to shoot it. I went with the 50 caliber Stainless with the Realtree stock. Thanks all, for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
257bob Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: ordered my Omega You'll love it. What scope are you gonna use now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: ordered my Omega In Wisconsin, you can't use a scope with any magnification, so I'm not sure. Will probably put a Leupold on it if I can hunt somewhere where scopes are allowed. What do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
257bob Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: ordered my Omega Check out the Nikon Omega. It was designed specifically for that gun. It has a drop compensating retical out to 250 yards when using a 250 grain bullet and 150 grains of powder. I just put one on my Omega and it is also really clear.

hunterfisherman Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: ordered my Omega I have that exact gun with the omega on it and I couldn't be happier. That's my favorite gun and I am really enjoying what the Omega offers. Great great setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: ordered my Omega Congrats, you will not be disappointed. I have the Omega 50 cal Stainless barrel RT thumbhole stock scoped with a 3x9 nikon prostaff and it shoots awesome. I agree with the others that the nikon omega scope is SWEET, but I got a deal on my prostaff and got it for 150$ less then the Omega scope, so wasnt passing that up. You'll have a blast shooting it.

RangerClay Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: ordered my Omega Congrats Finn I might suggest a red dot scope. That is what I use on my slug gun. It has no magnification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: ordered my Omega My brother just got his Omega and put a Nikon 3-9x40 on it. We sighted in this last weekend. His 1st gun ever and he never shot a rifled firearm before. 15 shots and he had 1.5" groups at 100. Thats from not being bore sighted either. Sweet gun... I agree with a red dot if you can not have a mag scope. I have one on my turkey gun and its awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: ordered my Omega Thanks, guys. Anyone have a list of items I need to pick up to be ready to shoot? Is the TC butter worth buying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Re: ordered my Omega I used the butter for a few years and I don't think it was worth buying. I would rather have my barrel clean than the goop inside of it. I clean my barrel while I'm on the range with windex on 1 patch then 1-2 dry patches, about every 3 shots. If I'm doing a clean job at home afterwards, it is Butch's Bore Shine for cleaning the barrel. Now this is my favorite, and many brands will clean just as good. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: ordered my Omega I used the bore butter with my patch and ball until they changed the formula. The new stuff freezes up outdoors. I shoot pyrodex and 348 gr. powerbelts. I clean my gun with Knights e-z clean and CVA sabot solvent.

huntn4bucks Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Re: ordered my Omega Great choice. I have an Omega with SS barrel and laminate stock. It's one beautiful gun. What height scope rings did you guys use with the Nikon Omega 3x9x40 scope? Were they medium or highs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
