Escort PS Magnum 12ga SA - Fiber Optic
MP15 - Nikon 3-9x40 Coyote Special
Howa Axiom 22-250 - Nikko Stirling Nighteater 4-16x44
Savage Edge .243 - Tasco 2.5-10x44 Varminter (I'll take this when cougar or bear is open)

No pics of my Savage at this time

How does that Howa shot I was looking at maybe getting one in .223 just because ammo is cheaper, but I heard you can get better rifles for the price of a Howa Axiom.  Was it worth the money you spent on it.

I found mine brand new on Gun Broker from a seller in AZ for $700. It was a scoped combo and came in Kings Desert Camo. I really like it - very accurate, it shoots better than I can. The longest shot I've made with it was only 240yds but I drilled & dropped a coyote with it. Its a heavy pig, even more so with the Harris bipod on it. But everyone who has shot it loves it. I always get people asking about it when I have it at the range, the rangemaster was drooling over it so I let him shoot it. Then he says ' dangit now I have to go out & buy another gun'! I'm not saying it the best rifle out there, for the price or not, but I think its a great gun and works just fine for what I want it for, predator hunting - I dont need to make 1000yds head shots from the fantail of a floating ship with it...  :chuckle:

CZ550 Stutzen 8x57 mounted up with a Meopta Meostar 3-12x56 4C.  Great for foxes at night, no flashlights, no NV.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I like it, you should get one. Then if you dont like it, just buy another gun. At least you'll have another rifle and that cant be bad! :chuckle:

BTW - did they change the "quote" feature? Now when I hit quote it goes to 'quick reply' and there is no formatting options like bold or smileys. It hasnt always been that way has it?

I suppose it depends where I hunt and if i plan on keeping fur. My go-to would be my 22-250Ackley Improved with a 6-18x scope. Also use a 257 roberts, 308,  Mini-14, and 17 hmr.  Soon i hope to load some 100 grain NBT's for the 264.
Bang...Flop......No tracking required.
