Dammit!!

Guns and Bows will only get their new Ruger stock in April. Was going to be January. I don't want to wait any longer..
I'm looking for a .300 or .338.

Was after a synthetic stainless finish.

Anyone know of gunshops around SA with these calibres. I'm looking for a new rifle, of a reputable brand only.

Thanks,
Adrian

I think Camdix in Krugersdorp has a 300WM Howa.

Thanks, yes, I've spoken to them. Howa not really my first/second/third... choice though... md217

How about a weatherby?

**makeminea10mm** · 16-01-2009, 17:34

I've been advised not to go for the vangard. Pretty much the same as the howa isn't. But the original Weatherby, I don't know much about...

I had a feeling that Surburban were bringing in or had Weatherby Accumark's, but that was a couple months back. It may be worth a try.

**makeminea10mm** · 16-01-2009, 18:26

Thanks! will call them tomorrow.

BTW, I'm looking for a stainless, synthentic model..

Yo Adrian, why not on the Howa? Before I bought one I did some thorough research and only found positive comment from users and reviews in periodicals. Not dissing your choice just interested to hear what you've heard about it.

Me too....

As I said I had a 30-06 and I found it to be good value for money and it performed 100% and had very good accuracy.

I know they may not be the top rifle but they are surely not at the bottom of the heap.

If it is a case of 'that is not what I want' then so be it as personal preference plays a big role, but I am also interested why the Howa does not feature in your options... hpy180

Just personal preference. Nothing against Howa or Weatherby.

I want to own one of each gun ever made, and I want one in every calibre. However, given the draconian laws, I can't - so the guns I do own I want to try and own the best that's out there. I'm interested in Rugers and Remington's. Perhaps a Brno or some of the others.

So I decidted to go and look at the Remington's at Safari Outdoor this morning, but I couldn't find the place. ??? Ended up having lunch in Stellenbocsh.
