MG6065 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Decided on which rifle I'm going to buy. I want the stainless 1500 howa. Going to be buying this brand new, what price should I be expecting to pay? What's the going rate? I've been looking on the internet but prices vary. What have you guys paid or what would you pay?

bighit1985 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 What's made your decision?? What others did you look at?? Only asking as I'm hoping to get my variation oked by feo and be looking for a 243 myself and seen the howa and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Can't fault my howa. 223 I was shooting less than 3/4 groups at the weekend at 100 yards. Can't help you on price tho as mine was 2nd hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG6065 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I really like the feel of them and they have great reviews. I already have the moderator and glass to go with it so it's now just getting the rifle and rings. I don't think you can get the equivalent quality for the price. I was keen to get a second hand rifle of better name/spec but realistically it will do for what I need shooting foxes and a few deer. My ability doesn't require anything special! Least if I buy new it's under warranty and I know what condition it's in and buying through a ship they can sort it and are only ever on the end of a phone call. That said I haven't seen a nice secondhand one yet, I've only seen pretty beaten up ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshMike Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Great rifles. I have a 1500 in .243, heavy 26" barrel, laminate thumb hole stock, stainless with a sonic 45 mod. It has accounted for some foxes since I had it. Paid around the £750 mark brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
