"Now about this open sight thing......."
bwinters: Put a Weaver base on your Omega. Get a XS Ghost Ring backup sight that fits the Weaver rail. You will need a taller front sight. You can get some plastic sights from XS that fit in the front sight dovetail. Cut the plastic sight down to center your selected load for elevation and then buy a front sight of that height. You can also use a roofing nail filed to fit the dovetail. If your home state allows scopes when you get back from CO you will be all set to mount a scope.
