Yeah, not sure if you saw the video but it packs a punch. We did get some instruction from the big-game hunters on how to shoot it less painfully - more front on like a shotgun, butt closer to the chest instead of the shoulder, and be prepared to take a step backwards.

Still, most of our friends only want to shoot it once. The first shot is the easy one though - ignorance is bliss. It's the second shot that gets harder to shoot because you know what you're in for. :?

I wonder if the 500 would work on foxes....

hmm.... It would almost be worth forking out that kind of money on the rifle plus ammo just to shoot small game.
If something doesn't work, apply rule .303!

Also, as a bit of an update, we had the front sling swivel moved from the grip to the barrel. Those who told us that it could injure us were right. I got a cut on my little finger from it once so Ralf moved it forward for us. I'll get some photos up soon of the revised layout.

Well I've been watching the 300 blackout for some time and I worked out the secret is in barrel length !!! 22 inch barrel and longer, mine is 25 inches, with a 22 inch and up when you shoot for example a 1/4 piece of steel plate with a 220 gr projectile and it will literally drills a perfectly round hole in the steel plate with razor sharp edges going in and out of the steel. You can shot from 100 gr to 240 gr projectiles out of it subsonic or supersonic. I like to shoot 168 gr hardcasts out of it!! " polymer coated LEAD". As for the .222 I've had everything but a .222 and all my friends have had .222's in the past and everyone of them NOW regrets getting rid of their .222 and I LOVE MY .222!! As for the 30.06 I've always had one or 5 in the past and I just missed have my '06!! The Omni-Break is a very strong excellent gun and having seen the gun literally made entirely by hand, Ralf doesn't have a CNC machine it's all hand and lathe work and he make EVERYTHING but the barrel and the timber work from Bettina is I think World class and again ALL hand made.Thanks for your question Regards Rob

Sounds good Rob. Yeah I am super happy with the craftmanship on the rifle by both Ralf and Bettina. :)

It's pretty affordable once you set up for reloading. Give Ralf a call and I am always willing to help with reloading info. :thumbsup:

So you are actually trying to kill yourself? Now it makes sense ;) (just kidding)
