Hi all I have just got a variation back for a 243. Initially was thinking on a stainless synthetic fluted X-bolt, but how does the Howa 1500 stainless synthetic stack up against it. Its a couple of hundred quid cheaper. I had also considered the Tikka T3 or Sako a7 stainless synthetic. All seem to have plastic mags aithough the A7 has metel inserts. Also the Tikka and Sako have that horrible plastic cover on the back of the bolt. If money would allow I would probably go for a sako 85. Although if a nice used stainless synthetic Tikka M595 were to turn up i think i would go for it. any thoughts good or bad on any of the above? Shaun
