Must say that the Omega is a beautiful rifle even in standard form.
Why doesn't the Turkish factory make them?
Well finally got round to an open sight session after the aforementioned generosity of BBS member styggron. Many thanks once again.
15 yards on irons. 1st target to zero then second target 6 shots. Bottled it after that as fingers were getting cold and didn't want to ruin a promising group!!
Cheers all and a Happy New Year!

Hi John. Superb matey, absolutely superb. I know that of late, I have been saying that in .177, the Longbow is equal to the Omega on accuracy and consistency, but in .22, imho, the Omega romps home every time ... Glad you are enjoying it therefore my friend, as it is always good to see one of my old rifles being enjoyed to the max by its new owner (now when can I have it back ). Ha ha. Atb: G.

Cheers Gareth, it's certainly got the grin factor and it may seem funny but over all the years of airgunning the Omega has that hard to quantify 'feel' that the shot will be a good one once the trigger is slipped.
There have not been many that fit the bill in that respect, for me, those that have usually sport the HW logo..
Cheers all, John
After reading this and other posts I bought a used not abused LH .22 Omega for £120.
It is a real pleasure to shoot and a keeper. Well posted chaps!
