Get some N110, Harvester light blue sabots, Eastern Maine wool wads, Fury 40 cal 225gr bullets. Start around 30gr and work up.I’ll stick with the original stock for now, I like the look. I won’t go max loads with it either. Where I hunt now I won’t have over a 150 yard shot, so I’ll find a good easy shooting load.
Get yourself a Bradley cheek weld piece. It makes a world a difference at the range, proper eye alignment. Looks great and good luck…Here’s a quick pic of my new Woodman Brux barreled Omega. I had a little time this morning to put it together. I still need to bed the barrel, which will be a first for me, but that will be another day.

Nice but the scope looks mounted pretty high.
I know what you mean. Finding the time to get to the range is tough......It probably is a little high, just went with the rings a had in the drawer. I ended up with some N120 and 240g Fury’s. I’ll give that a try and see what happens. I also have some 275 NSR‘s to try out with IMR4198. Just gotta find time to get to the range. Home projects are taking all of my time right now.
Very easy. Basically Woodmans barrels are drop-in replacements. It’s as simple as swapping the barrel. Remove the action from the old barrel and attach to the new barrel. You may also need to do a little inletting to get the new barrel to fit whatever stock (OEM or aftermarket) you put it in.I’ve got 2 omegas and I’m interested in turning one into a smokeless. How hard is it to replace the barrel?
It is very easy to do. If I can do it anyone can.I’ve got 2 omegas and I’m interested in turning one into a smokeless. How hard is it to replace the barrel?
Did the new barrel drop right in to the factory stock?It is very easy to do. If I can do it anyone can.
Yes, it should if you get the factory contour from Mark. My McGowen dropped into the factory synthetic stock.Did the new barrel drop right in to the factory stock?
The issue may be the front action screw. I ran into the same thing on a couple of mine and it took me a while to figure out what was going on. It may be a little long and be impinging on the ramrod. Loosening it will verify. Then it’s a matter of either shortening the screw or spacing it out a little.It did on mine with no trimming required. The only thing is my ramrod will not come out when I put it all back together. I may have a little work to do on it,
