Hey guys,
Just looking for a little feedback on Howa rifles......I recently did some steel shooting with a friend and it was so much fun...I'm hooked......I need a rig and have been eyeballing a Howa .243.....I was trying to decide calibers and thinking .308.....but I was recently given everything I need to reload .243 from another friend who sold his rifle, brass included.....Would this be a good caliber to start out shooting steel plates from 250-700yds?......Also plan to do a little whitetail hunting with it this season (probably not past 300 though)
What kind of quality could I expect out of these rifles?.....How many shots until the factory barrel wears on a .243?......I have a Zeiss 3.5-10x50 mildot ready to go on, and whatever I buy I want it to be an attractive rifle, would this one be a good starter?
