Yeah yeah I know it's the rimfire section and all, but I figured i'd share with my buddies here anyway. Just picked up a brand new Howa 1500 in .223 Rem. It's a pretty nice gun. It's got a rubber over-molded stock, 4+1 cap, came with the rail and rings for $380. The only thing I added was the Bushnell Banner 10X scope and the Harris bipod. It'll pretty much stay just like it is except I will most likely be adding a better scope. Probably the same one that's on the 17. As soon as it's not supposed to storm I'll be able to go sight it in.
