Thread: Can you help me choose my next build

I know all will rust or stain if not maintained, but this has removed my confidence in them.
Even saw a howa hunter extreme on TM recently with the cerekote finish supposedly as new and you could see the rust setting in.

Cheers though!

Rust is through a lack of care, Howa's might not be top end but certainly not a low quality product.

If you are being sensible, a 6mm or 6.5 Creedmoor Howa in a KRG Bravo is going to be unbeatable for the price.

Maybe ramp up to a secondhand Remington Sendero in 7mmRM or 300WM/300WSM but spending anything more is going to be a waste of time and money which should have been spent pulling the trigger and sending lead and copper downrange.

Spare no expense on optics and rings/bases though.
