New muzzleloader...

[big6x6]

Grouse and I stopped by Cabelas in Ft Worth on the way home from the whitetail hunt. Boy...when I looked at that T/C Omega X7...I was in LOVE! What a nice little rifle. One thing I can say for sure...T/C sure knows how to build them. Well ANYWHO...It was on sale from 549.99 to 449.99...then I got a $15.00 certificate in the mail..THEN I had some Cabelas points...well you know the REST!

I also bought one of the EABCO peep site/scope base combos and replaced the excellent factory peep with it. I THINK it's going to work just fine.. I'm thinking I'll try a 250gr Ballistic Extreme over 110gr ffg Triple Se7en and see how that shoots! I also put the VX-II 3-9 from my White .45 on it..

I hastily too a few pics this AM...none really THAT great... In the first photo I had the camera over my head and was just guessing...

Maybe you can get a pretty good idea of how the base/peep combo fits/works...

Did you cut the barrel or put a shoulder stock on that back powder pistol?

You are like the rest of us T/C shooters..just put the rifle in our hands and we won't let go.

Keep us posted on your accuracy results with the new peep sight. You may have the first one on this forum.

Neat little setup Chuck.

Is the trigger guard on the X7 the same size (opening-wise) as the other Omega models?

I am interested in this same rifle. Please post your range report on your X7. I am interested in how the recoil is going to be with such a light rifle and also the muzzle jump. Lastly, if you can, please post the velocity of your loads - I would like to know how quick that 24 inch barrel will be. Do you think you will lose about 20 feet per second of velocity per inch compared to a longer barrel? Thanx!
