not my cup of tea but the grandsons will need deer rifles soon. Went by the buddys gunshop today and he had a like new howa bolt 243 with a lightweight 20 inch barrel, glass stock and a cheap 3x9 bushnell on it. Walked out with it for $250 so one down 3 more to go.
Those are actually nice guns...
I've got a Weatherby Vanguard (a Howa 1500 in drag) in .223 that shoots 1/2 MOA. Liked it so much I had a gunsmith rechamber it to .223 AI. (Gotta be different, ya know.)
The Howa 1500's shoot VERY well. I've had 3--one in 338 Win Mag was the most accurate rifle in that caliber I've ever fired. A 243 standard taper barrel shot j-words quite well, but left before I tried castings in that caliber. Lastly, a heavy-barrelled 22-250 would do 3/4" groups at 100 yards all day long. All 3 were box-stock. No, you could do far worse than get a Howa 1500--for self or kids.
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
Ya done good on that one Lloyd!
