Good score.Was supposed be unfired but found a small amount of pitting right at the breach, but the rest of the barrel was perfect. Rest of the gun was mint. Breech plug was spotless. Have 4 in lines now so something has to go. Couldn’t pass it up for the price.View attachment 40873
Thats terrible to hear, I'm sorry you have that kinda BS to deal with & paid to have to do it.I sent Boyd's a picture. I got no reply until I called and left a message stating my dissatisfaction with their stock and customer service. I get an email in 5 minutes stating it's not a scratch or a defect.Its a mineral stain which they have no way of knowing which stocks this will happen with. This is normal with laminated stocks. I guess the other 10 I have are impervious to this imperfection.I can tell you , they aren't qualified to sweep Tony Gilbert's shop.Maybe everyone else's laminated stocks I own actually do " quality " control
That stinks. I surely feel your pain as I went through the e-mail thing a few years back. Never got it resolved and ended getting a refund.I sent Boyd's a picture.

Gun oil does not belong on wood. EVERWhen I got my Boyds Omega stock I found that I had to take out some material where the lugs go in order to fit the barrel properly.Now,I do not like how wide the fore end.It is to uncomrtable and not a good grip.So I am gong to sand it down like my Knight Mountaineer then use 000-0000 steel wool with gun oil to bring back the luster.Plus it is really heavy.I like the factory t/h stock presented here and wish I had waited.
My Omegas shoot the 300 gr Shockwaves in an MMP HPH12 or Harvester CR with 100-110 grV Bh209. Personally I have never had great luck with .429/.430 bullets in any rifle. Don’t forget to try knurled bullets - can make a huge difference!Will be using BH 209 Powder and have lots of bullets and sabots around will probably start out with my 300 Grain XTPs in a Green Crush rib over 70 Grains weighed BH. Anyone have any loads that shot really well from an Omega. Not trying to cut corners on my load development Just Ideas on anything I might need to try.
Ron, mine will print moa with 90 gr bh and 260 gr pt gold with harvester ez sabot. I really like the expansion of an xtp but did not have good success . Maybe the 300 gr would be the ticket. Keep us posted. You have a gem there.
