I don't really want stainless, so I guess I would have to go with a 12FV and get an aftermarket or pull-off stock. Though I would probably leave the stock the way it is for a while and just use it (I would have to save more $$ for a laminate stock). I have had the plane jane stock on my Howa...

Got to my local gun shop today and did some fondling. They only had a couple from my list: Savage 12FV (223 but should be the same in 204): Wow, I really like the bolt handle, bolt was smooth and the trigger was awesome! Remington 700 SPS Varmint: Though the stock was nicer than the...

It's not so much the recoil on me I am worried about. It's the fast paced shooting at long distances. If I happen to miss, I want to see where the bullet hit so I know the holdover on the second shot, plus I would like to still have the squirrel/pdawg in my scope. I have heard so many good...

OK guys, I am convinced to try using my Howa 223 for now. I need to either get a timney trigger or have the trigger worked on. I may have to switch to a laminate stock though as the synthetic that came with it seems to have a lot of flex. As far as using a AR, I would love to, but...

So, limiting the 223 to 500 yds with a heavy bullet, where would I limit with a lighter 45-50 grain bullet with my 1in12 twist? And would you say that limit includes Coyote, or just squirrels/prairie dogs? As far as the 243, that is the other caliber I was thinking of instead of 204. I like...

I am leaning more towards the savage, though all these CZ guys are getting me to look at them. As for the 223, I really haven't had the chance to shoot anything further out than 250. What would you guys say is the effective range for a 223 on a Yote? My barrel is a 1in12 twist so it needs...

That's a pretty good price. Are those scopes any good? I already have a scope, so I wonder what I could get for it on ebay?

I NEED a new Varmint rifle. My friend has a new .204 so of course I need one as well. :) My current setup is a Howa 1500 in 223 with the heavy barrel (1 in 12 twist). This works fine for up to approx 200-250 yds. I want to have the capability to reach out further, but still shoot for a while...
