Welcome to the board. I think you will really like that Howa. Bought mine about 6 yrs ago. For a factory rifle, I think it is the best buy on the market. You may consider a Timney trigger in the future. It made all the difference in mine. Let us know how she shoots, and of coarse we all like rifle porn! :lol:

Welcome aboard! Need to see the rifle porn though! Love to see the pics on here. I think the howa will do you a good job. (especially since I saw the .3 groups at 100 yds you put up with it your first time out!) Nice shooting imo!
Leave nothing in the field but your tracks.........(and a few carcasses!)

Beth;
I may have led your hubby astray when he asked if he should get a 223 or 22-250 for prairie dogs, and I replied 204!! But I am a long way from the godfather of the 204!! But thanks for the high position you put me in, even tho I don't deserve it.
