AusVarmint

haha, and when you're young, have licence, it's about getting a car full stop and getting out there driving. Totally understand that. Hard to knock back the good deals along the way. yep, if there's no more commodore, then we'll definitely need another 8 to take over, and the Camaro would be great. ...

Only took a little bit until you caught the bug from early on. Or did one happen to be in the right place at the right time, was time to change cars, so you picked it up and stayed the course since? I think I know that feeling re: what to do next. Quite the dilemma! Fingers crossed the ones we have ...

I'm still hoping for that miracle as well. Fingers crossed someone pulls their finger out of their date and makes that happen! I've only ever owned and driven Holdens from my first car to current car. I was gutted when I heard the news. I guess that was karma for my thoughts on ford shutting up shop...

Hey Seddo,
good cross coverage of the stickers there.
You've got it covered well.
Awesome to be picking up one of the last model (assuming new)?

Hey Trevort, that's a bonus great news re: easier cleaning. I don't mind it, but not as much fun as the using bit. I get the feeling, no matter blued or SS for me, either would group better than my old eyes and wonky use would do. My first foray into SS barrels, so interesting to see the differences...

Howdy Seddo,

haha, that's neat colour scheme. It has the colours weighed off. I'm sure it could fit the SS stickers on there somewhere!

cheers

Hi TrevorT, Thanks for the advice. I'm not for or against stainless or blued, but the stainless may have just an edge with weather. Any easier to clean? Would i be correct to assume a quality blued target barrel could be had also once the original new blued barrel is due to be replaced, and go as we...

Thanks champ. Neither come in Black and Red of the HQ SS Monaro, so got no choice on the colour besides shiny or dark!

Howdy Dashooter,
Thanks for the post and info re: Cleavers.
I see what you mean re: load data and not ready to go with that just yet.
cheers for that.

Thanks The Raven,

Makes sense. Besides scope, I hadn't 100% decided what to change, but it may be in the near future.

From history, once I've had my fingers in the pie it's a mess anyway, so either way it'll be a mess.

Bonus warranty for the new rifle may help.
Thanks for your input.

G'day, Looking at two variations of a similar Howa 1500 243 Varmint 24" barrel. First option: Brand New, Howa 1500 243 Blued Varmint 24" barrel, older synthetic stock (not hogue), not pillar bedded, internal mag, $550 new price, but extra $100 for courier and LGS transfer/accepting fee, so...
