Doegirl, have you had any POI issues after dissassembling and cleaning your Encore. I have heard of some of these issues with some Encores. I have been thinking about one of these for a while. I just bought an Omega last year and even though I stole it from Wally world for $168.00+tax, It is going to be tough to justify another gun to the better half. I haven't even got it dialed in yet. Maybe for my birthday next year!!!

Yah, I have heard a lot of really satisfied people with Encores out there. It just takes a little patience a lot of times to find the right combo that works with a particular gun. Thanks for the info. Looks like a real good pssibility for next years birthday!!

Here's a nice looking Omega with a laminate stock:

I have an original Encore with the black synthetic stock that I've been think about upgrading. I think I'll have a laminate stock on my X-Mas list!

Yah, I am actually thinking about buying that stock from TC and putting it on my Omega Z5. I think the cost was $146.00+Shipping. I know it will be heavier, but I have always been partial to wood. I am probably going to order it after the season is finished.

That's the same wood stock as mine. It gives the ML more balance - plus tames recoil with a straight push back at ignition-versus the hollow, lightersynthetic thatpushes sideways too. Plus if a branchsnaps atit, it won't yelp-out a clang.

Triple Se7en, is it an ambidextrous stock? In all of the pics, I can't see what the left side of the stock looks like. Is it straight on both sides? The grey liminate was what I originally was going to buy until I came accross the deal on the Z5 atWalmart. Couldn't pass it up for $168.00.You are right about the stock pushing sideways. I believe that is the reason I kept getting popped in the eyebrow almost every time I shot it. It caused me to buy a longer eye relief scope to put on the gun. I haven't shot it with the new scope yet. We will see. Thanks for the info.

For the first time I'm lucky. Thumbhole stocks just are not my cup of tea. While I like the looks of them, and have shot them on the range, I just would not care for one. Especially for the extra cost involved. Of course, if I had one I would probably change my tune real fast.
That is a pretty rifle. I think you should buy that. Just don't let the wife see it..
