It sure seems like a lot of money compared to what the rifles originally sold for, I've had omegas the last 3 years a couple of them got rebuilt in to Woodman rebuilds but I've shot every one of those and the other ones that I still have all shoot real good including one that was so bad you could not really even see the rifling ,I'm not sure a brand new in the box 8 or 900 even $1,000 Omega it's not a better quality than most of what is available today between the 500 and $1,000 range,,,, a lot of those omegas just had great barrels on them there's really nothing else to say but sure not much to the action and Trigger Etc but that should say something to a lot of us it's all about that Barrel
