Just made my 1st introduction post. So I came accross a new black Hogue Howa with a 16" threaded barrel at Buds gun shop for just over $500 and ordered it. As soon as I got it home I pulled out my old 20" Axiom and switched stocks and triggers, I put the nicer bottom metal in the Hogue and zipped it up in a case for ??
I ordered a PT&G bottom metal for use of AICS mags (these are on sale right now for $119!) I'm not sure what I'll do for optics, my Axiom had a decent older Weaver 4-12x50 30mm IR tatical on it with 2pc bases, I'm more a fan of 1pc and even more so of integrated rings like DNZ reapers. This will be primarily a hunting rig. I know folks knock the less rigid Knoxx stock, but I like it and already have it, that said, it's not set in stone that I'll keep it. A lot depends on the bottom metal, so we'll see...
