Omega Sights
I remember someone posts a link on here and it was a scope base that had a peep sight on it. You could use this base for the peep sight or for a scope. It was priced around $60, Does anyone remember this?
I am worried that when i get the factory sights, i wont be able to use them. The last omega's i handled had what looked like williams and i had to smash my face up against the side of the stock to barely get the sights in view. I was hoping the added height of that base/peep site might help me out.
This is it!
Also, do they make a sidehammer extension? Jeez, havent even shot the thing and i am wanting to spend money on it
That recoil pad will probably be the first to go. Limbsaver always has a soft spot in my heart.

RE: Omega Sights
Pretty neat looking sight / mount.
As far as the Sims recoil pad, if you are like me, the standard stock is too short (or at least it was when I bought mine 4 years ago). Therefore, I got the slipover sims pad and it helps with the recoil and lengthens the stock. This lengthening may also help with getting low enough for the sight. The slipoever is also a lot cheaper. I believe it was the medium (size) one.

The hammer spur will not work on an Omega because the hammer drops down into the stock the when you drop the trigger.
The open sights work just fine on my Omega, if you mount a scope you may need a cheek pad. The Omega was originally built to open sights.
But! with that aftermarket thumb-hole stock you are getting that may well be a problem - as I am sure the comb has been built for a scope.
