bang bang birdy Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'm putting in a variation for my first .243 Now I'm in the process of deciding what rifle to purchase, I ve been reading reviews on line but when do you see a bad review... A friend has a Sako but is a bit out of my price range I am on a bit of a budget but would rather get a half descent package than a load of cr😉P Should I buy new or second hand??? I will be using the rifle for fox and deer Also I want a moderator A lot of question but thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshgun Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Howa I think is a decent rifle for the price they are but pritty basic in my opinion but the tikka is a better rifle overall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be using the rifle for fox and deer Also I want a moderator A lot of question but thanks in advance No dont do it, get a .2506 i could explain why, but the .243 fan base on here is huge like most boy bands. Just buy a .2506 its top of the varmint rounds and where real rifles start. I dont want praise so dont bother thanking me latter that smile in the photo you post on the pictures section with your first Red will be praise enough. get a .2506. Oh get it in a tikka t3 .
