Tell that to VC who nailed a red in the head with Howa 223 from a massive distance last weekend. Be careful only ownership and experience should make those comments . My marlin .17 HMR takes out magpies at 180 mtrs. Sorry that's both brands you just rubbished chap. Cheap chit chat . Needs to based on fact I m afraid .

Cheers Happy

im just going off what i have been told by other people i have been talking to

theres a t3 in .270 in the for sale section, .270 will be fine as well just like most of the 6/7/.30 calibres

kewl as thanks for that

yea Ive had a weatherby & Howa - I also own a marlin & Remington & tikka. out of these makes if I was to go for a cheap rifle id go marlin, then Remington but Im real happy with the Tikka - I had nothing but dramas with the weatherby out of the box and ended up getting rid of it and dropping about $500 in the process. The howa was a .233 suppressed and nothing flash nailed a few fellow down south & a ok rifle, I guess all experiences are different eh? .

If I was recommending a rifle to anyone new to hunting I would still point them towards a Tikka or Remington. ...............hey but that's my 5c .... up to the buyer to ask the questions and do the home work . good luck fella ?

Cheers

Nice rifle Roy.

Cheers Happy - as most have said above - there's not a lot between rifles these days - the moneys best spent on the OPTICs - first light and last light is when it matters good glass is where it really pays off .

Good call, $800 seems to be the threshold for a decent rifle, anything over will be fine and they get better the more you spend, Just don't touch a Remy 770, Ruger American or Savage Axis!
Optics are where money really matters!

"Howas are wetherbys and in my opion slightly better as they have a slightly nicer stock thats piller bedded. I hate the hump back piece of shit stock on the weatherbys. All the rifles mentioned here are so close in performance and features its ridiculous have a look at them first hand and pick one you wont go wrong. Go hunting."

I own a Weatherby Vanguard and can vouch for the stock being an ugly lump of heavy remoulded plastic but it shoots better than I do.

As others have said, get something with an action you like and spend at least as much as your rifle budget on your optics.

Haha, weatherby vanguards are howas with another name on them, bugger all wrong with a howa, they are very well built on a good design. Of the cheaper rifles they are right up there with the tikka although a bit heavier. Nothing wrong with marlin either.
