Got mine from Cabalas yesterday! Very nice. I also can't wait to get it to the range. It's the same gun that Bass Pro Shop is advertising in their spring catalog for $279.99 and is already sold out.

lol.. Everytime i have money in the pocket, something like this pops up. But no, Im going to keep my x-150 as my only inline. I just got it resighted in for 100 yards and will do some shooting tomorrow. I messed up what would have been a perfect, all 3 shots touching, I forgot how i aimed on the first shot and so on the last 2 shots i remembered and those were the 2 that were touching. Truglo sights have been doing excellent so far. But tomorrow i'll be reporting back on how the x-150 did with the new sights and the ghost ring. First 6 shots i took went about 2 feet over the 100 yard target lol

2 feet HIGH lol. not 2 foot groups. I dont think its possible to shoot a 2 foot group, even with whats his name behind the rifle... lol Just kiddin!

The last groups i got, if i just go by the last 2 shots, were 1/4", Im doing more shooting tomorrow. To whooped to do anymore today. Raked the lawn, watered all the trees, bushes and to top it off, pulled the windshield out of a 53 ford mainline. Also cleaned the rifle which didnt take very long. I used that orange scent 409 and that worked really damn well. But tomarrow will be a shooting only day. Screw everything else lol.

Well now FG, you can't be disappointed with what I can do with the Omega now. Confidence is what brings success. I'm confident in my gun now and it seems you are certainly confident in the X-150. Just use what works.

Ever since i put the ghost ring on, i was never able to shoot it with the great plains bullets thanks to the local stores never restocking. 2 months later they had 2 boxes and i bought em both! Im going to get it on at 100 yards tomorrow and see how it does. Once i get it on target again, it gets cleaned and the little .45 comes out for 100 yard target. I love shooting that little rifle lol, so little powder, so little kick, great accuracy. Im going to set up pop cans to shoot at with it. Possibly bring a hammer and punch to adjust the sight.. Shoots a hair to the right @ 100 yards. Little bullet gets blown off easily by the wind. But yeah the x-150 is doing its job. Hows the omega doing for you outdoors? Have you shot any "new" bullets or charges?

It's great!! Did you read my post about my last range session?

I shot a 3 inch 3 shot group at 100 and I shot one bullet directly into the other at 50. I'm getting the hang of it.

Want the pics? I'll send em if you do.

I bought a truck and snowmobile and crap so I'm broke. No more tinkering for me. I just gotta use the load that works.I probably won't do much shooting until closer to ML season.

Out for tonight.
