I will be shooting coyotesat first up to a couple hundred yards.. When I start to hunt out west I will be doing some P-Doggin with em...

While cost is somewhat of an issue I've never been known to take the "cheapest" route, lol... I like my Browning Shotguns and Kimber Riflesif it helps at all...

I really just want something fun and something that looks really neat.. Most of my guns are big thumpers. I want something accurate but really want it to look different than the rest of my rifles, hence the AR thought or the thumbhole - vented stock.. Already have some Talley Rings (no bases till I know what rifle) and I have an Elite 4200 6-24 mil dot scope.. Also much different than most my standard cross haired Leupolds... LOL

Just looking for some help from the "Varmit" guys out there.. I've never though of Howa as my type of rifle but with the thumbhole stock it really does look different and I can't seem to find a Remington or Wby that has that type of stock...
