Just curious to see what you all think. Thinking about buying another rifle, this one in 30-06. Found some in my price range ($500 or less). One that jumped out at me was a Howa. Opinions? I'm really thinking about buying it. Or would I be wasting my money?

I have no experience of them. What I will do sometimes is buy and try, if its not for me I will sell or trade it on, all over several months, not ten minutes.
A few months ago I picked up, for example, a Mossberg Patrol in 7.62x51. I cant put it down, its just great to shoot. I already own a Mossberg MVP Patrol in 5.56, so know the beast fairly well. I guess I am saying try it out if you can.

I'm planning on getting it Saturday. A store a few miles away sells them.

Couldn't wait. Ordered it online last night. (Surprise, right?)

Rather than start a new thread I'll post here. Last week at my range they had a cowboy action new shooters clinic. Yes, I went. Afterward, you could try the different guns. Two guys brought their Sharps rifles. I had to. Fell in love with them. A 45-70 and a 50-140. Where can I get some extra money?

I got a couple of Sharpses. A "Sporting Rifle" - 30" octagonal barrel, double-set triggers - and a "Cavalry Carbine - 20" round barrel, single trigger, sling bar.
They're okay, but really I like my Rolling Blocks better. Got a Pedersoli 45/70 buffalo gun, and two real Remingtons. A Mexican 7mm and a #4 22LR.

Should be seeing money again soon. (See Daily Ammo Dump). Also finally got four rifles sighted in. The Savage 223, the Howa 30-06 and both ARs. (223 and 308). ARs need work. They have "the shakes".
