My new toy
 

I finally said to hell with waiting for a good deal on a used gun. Here's what I ended up with:

Howa Varminter Supreme .243
Nikon Monarch 5.5-16.5X44 AO
Harris 1A2 "L" 9-13" bipod

Should be a fun gun. Looking forward to shooting it tomorrow.

WOW!

Good shooting with your new toy. Not that you need a reason for a new toy, what's gonna be in it's sights?

RE: My new toy
 

Sweet rifle, whats a setup like that cost less the scope?

RE: My new toy
 

Mostly prairie dogs, coyotes, foxes, targets, and does. Also wolves as soon as they're delisted;). It fills the void between my 22LR and 7mm Rem Mag.

Here's what I ended up paying for everything before tax/shipping:

Rifle- $640 (cheapest price I found online was $600 before shipping/ FFL transfer)

Scope-$289 (closeout price at Natchez SS)

Bipod- $65

Leupold Rings/Bases- $40

I finally got to shoot it today, and it's a blast to shoot. Very light recoil, nice smooth action, great optics. Not sure how accurate it is yet, though, because the wind was howling and I had a hard time holding it steady enough to get good groups beyond 50yds.
