Yea he wasn't a fan of the rail setups that come with them when I took it to him. Other than that it's a good wee gun, functional and accurate. Two stage trigger isn't my favorite thing in the world and I'm not a fan of plastic bits or magazines on hunting rifles so I would be first in line if a floorplate came out for them. You could spend a shit tonne of money trying to build something lighter.

The Howa Superlight is an awesome rifle for the money if you're after the "lightest bang for buck"

Pro's - Stock feels great & has a decent LOP for a super LW, trigger is fine & breaks plenty clean enough for it's purpose ( it's a lw med - big game rifle, no a comp or varmint gun ), you can now get Talleys for it, mine shoots factory ammo just under an inch @ a hundy yards ( impressive for a cheap light weight rifle ) & best of all it's farken light - did I mention that already ?

Con's - Ditch the shit arsed looking rail ( wtf were they thinking ) butt pad rubber fit's a bit off, the plastic mag fitting is a little shite & the bolt slide is sticky az but for the dollars fuk me I can't complain

I was running mine with a real lw scope but now running something ( what may look a bit over sized but far more useful for what I want, still under six pound at 2.69kg with the 18x Z5i ) 20" 6.5CM

Yea being able to have something factory that can be under 3kg suppressed is pretty unreal. I reckon one in 308 would make a neat wee backpack gun

I know what it is and I dont throw stones .... look at the bolt niceeeeeeee

Went to gun city in Dunners to get some ammo for the .243......somehow I came home with a bit more than just ammo......
Initial sighting in of the SA22 was halted by next year's steaks deciding they needed to eat right behind target...but pretty happy with grouping so far

BERGARA 6.5 PRC, ARKEN SCOPE EPL4. Really happy with this rifle, enjoying hand loading with ADG Brass and Berger projectiles.

Bought some brass off a dude recently and he had same rifle. Said vastly more accurate than any sako's he had.

I was finally able to get the latest addition out for a play today.
Sauer Fieldshoot 6.5CM, Hardy’s suppressor and Meopta Meosport scope. (Laminated rifle beside the .223 Sauer)
The rifle is an absolute dream to shoot! The scope is incredible value for the money too!
Now it’s run in and I’ve found what it likes to eat (5 shot groups in the photo), I’m keen to stretch its legs out as far as we can go!

All mounted up.

9.7lb on the dot as is.
