    Dazzler, she is gorgeous.
    Got one on order myself although not Thumbhole but that nice "Nutmeg" stock
    is just superb.
    In the photo you have a Leupy on it but mention an Elite.
    I'm stuck between the VX III 6.5-20x40 or the Elite 6-24x40.
    Which did you choose in the end ?

    in the first pics it has the elite 3200 on it, but now that is on my HMR and I have a leupold VXII 6-18x40 (with target turrets) on it, also now has the ken farrell 20MOA rail on, (which is not on it in the pictures)

    Cheers

    Hi Dazzler,
    I have the howa varmit in 223 great rifle I agree with your impressions of the Howa they do seem to make good rifles!

    Out of interest where did you get the ken farrell 20MOA rail as I am after one of those for my Howa?
    Cheers

    the 20MOA rail came from a guy on here (engin i think) he had it spare, but I did order the screws fro it from K Farrell and they came in from the states in 4 days,

    he will post to the uk.

    Cheers
