Personally I would be hard pressed to decide between the 335, the 'Sport and the Omega. The 335 looses out on its lack of power (who wants to kill dustbins? ) but also on looks (too square) and its weakness is the stock mounting lugs which have a known habit of breaking at the welds.
On looks alone I think the Omega and the 'Sport are both great looking rifles. In standard performance, 'out of the box' and un tuned, the Omega has the edge but once tuned with a shorter spring, which doesn't loose any performance, the 'Sport takes it.
Saying that. The gas rammed Omega I have is something else. Several people who have shot it cant understand why Webley didn't put it into production. Now that rifle does beat the FWB offering.
Just my opinion.
