i have done several custom omega builds and been very pleased with them just wanted to try to make them little simplier and a drop in barrel for factory stocks or boyds stock.
this has been a while to get completed but im very happy with first build.
it is a brux 1" bull barrel .450/.458 1-20 twist 26 1/2" long and 28" with harrell break with load thru funnel the action and mounting lugs are machined from 304 stainless steel and made a fixture to hold them in place while they were tig welded . scope base is also tig welded in place using a fixture. im very happy with the welding but wish welds were spaced better on base for cosmetic reasons. im not sure if base needed welded but wanted to try it out. obviously screw mounting would be fine. i used mgm 6hole stainless base. trigger is reworked to break clean at 2# final barrel assembly fit perfectly in factory stock. so simply pulled 50 cal out and remove 2 pins from trigger assy and installed on new barrel and put back in stock. mounted scope .
with laminate stock and ramrod and break and scope base gun weighs 8 lb 8oz and with rings and vortex diamondback hp 4-16-42 total complete is 10 lbs and 42" overall with break. a contoured barrel would make a 9 lb gun. gun balances exactly center at 21" with bull barrel.
