I can pick up the howa in .223 with a 3-9x Nikko Sterling scope for $370 on sale locally. Anyone know anything about the scope? I'm sure its not a great one, but maybe passable?
I've been stewing hard on getting a .222 but trying to be practical, this gun would be cheaper to buy, cheaper to shoot, and would save me alittle money for one of those fancy new .17 hornets next summer that i've been eyeing up.
I'm really just looking for something to play with. My son is getting old enough to do some shooting and we are joining the local rifle range.
