I just received my Nikon Omega Non-BDC 1.65:5x36 in the mail. I bought it at a fraction of the cost of retail. I had waited two years for the scope to become the price I could afford.
I went today to Bass Pro, and bought medium one piece Talley mounts for the Encore, and they fit great on my Omega Z5. Now the groups should go from 2 to 3 inches at 100 yards to 1.5 inches or less, but even if they don't I feel much better taking game with the rifle now.
Depending on weather I am going to the range tomorrow and sight it in. The season is over now for MG, but I am still very excited to have this scope on the rifle, and the scope has MOA turrets. Which is a nice feature.
Does anyone else have experience with the Nikon Omega? I think it is neat that the scope name matches the rifle name.
So far I have found very good accuracy with a .429 200 grain XTP and a green Hornady sabot, Winchester 777 primers, and two pellets of 50/50 777. I would like to bump the bullet to the 300 grain XTP and 130 grains of 777. Would that be to much pressure for the rifle?
