Norica Omnia ZRS

[baldinio]

If you already own a weihrauch break barrel, then the HW option will be cheaper. But a new HW and my stock together will definitely be more than £500. An HW95 on its own is almost getting on for that

I’ve got a few hw rifles kicking about the place mate but I suspect the greater cost of a hw and one of you’re chassis would be justified in terms of how good they would be. That Norica looks like 200 quids worth of plastic fantastic

That's fair enough! I'm going to try and get the price not too far away from a CS stock with adjustable butt pad. Between £300 and £350. Not sure how feasible that is but good to have a goal!

Back to the post - I would still like to try a Norica Omnia, but maybe after a few thousand shots and with someone else's money

Er......yes.

Yep. Nice, bold idea, although nothing new. "New" things rarely are. But we can only imagine and expect Dan's creations to be on a totally different level.

Maybe it's just me but I find it quite difficult to translate what he's saying sometimes.
"The barrel does move in relation to the scope, but only with respect to breaking open and closing again". Not really sure what this means.

I think he means, that, like any other break barrel (except a really bad or very worn one) the barrel and receiver (and therefore scope) remain completely aligned during the aiming/firing/recoil cycle.

Tom’s challenge, like a lot of writing on this subject, is that his audience varies from people like us to complete novices.

I was a bit confused because on the gun he's talking about, the barrel/action and scope are independent of eachother. The barrel/action recoils and the scope is always static.
Probably not important, I'll go back and read it again when I'm not as tired!

[TonyL]

You're right, so the action will move forwards on cocking. And moves back on firing. Scope stays static. As long as it's properly engineered and wear doesn't occur to induce any play, all should be good.

Absolutely, Geez.
