    Howa .223

    Well for what's left out there; that is affordable to shoot, the 223 is about the last surviving caliber......... I was able to buy 20 boxes of 55gr PMC Bronze few weeks ago for $150 including free shipping. My Howa has an 8 twist barrel so it won't quite shoot moa with the 55gr bullets but...

    Ok scope is in: It is very Zeiss Conquestie...... Very similar optics, razor sharp eye box right to the edges. Certainly comparable to VX3 Leupold in many ways.

    What will be your cartridge/rifle of choice for this fall? Second?

    After 40 years of using a .270 Winchester for Big Northern Whitetails, I had toyed with the idea of a .280. The 7mm bullet selection is vast compared to .277. When I saw the new Howa Superlite introduced last year at 4 1/2 lbs, I decided to try one in 7mm08! Toped it off with a Zeiss 3x9 , so...

    Beware of scammers!!!

    Update: Stay away from Southern Defence Ammo. Their website is rigged to add a shipping insurance charge. They sent me a 5 box order for exact same order ( 10 boxes) instead of the 5 boxes I ordered. To include 2 separate boxes to include DOUBLE shipping and DOUBLE shipping insurances...... I...

    Filson quality is gone.....

    My gosh didn't realize that the once great Seattle company is now having their best Wool coats , made In Vietnam!!!! So for $700 you will recieve a jacket made overseas that is NOT the quality your expecting. Horrible to see what is happening in this country. Don't buy one, you will be disappointed.
