I have had nothing but trouble from my Z5 Omega. I just got it back for the umpteenth time from T/C. I have had a wide variety of troubles. Lack of accuracy with ANY powder/projectile combo to parts breakage. I think the parts were made on a friday and the rifle was assembled on a monday! :lol: I made a trip to the range yesterday. Two conclusions I've come to are-
1. It will never be accurate at all with Pyro pellets. Loose powder ONLY. Don't know why but group sizes are 3-4" at 25 yards with any primer and any projectile when you use pellets.
2. Blow back is still terrible. Fills the action/trigger group with gunk. I'm tired of complaining to T/C about it. Life goes on.
Is there any conical or other full bore projectile that Omega's will shoot well other than the Powerbelts? My Rifle seems to like the heavier Powerbelts. I've got the 245 HP's, 295 Aerotips, and the 348 HP's. Groups definately tighten up with the 348 grain Powerbelt hollow points. I know the Omega has a rep for NOT shooting conicals well. Second question is about the action/trigger group. I noticed that it's a bit loose where it attatches to the barrel. I see that it has a small dovetail but there also appears to be Torx head screws holding in place as well. I see I'll have to punch out some of the t. group pins to gain access to the rear screw. What size are these screws? None of my Torx head bits are long enough to reach the screw head. They are bit's that go with my gunsmiths bit set. I'll have to buy a set of t-handles or something similar.
