.223 oryx

[Stevie_87]

Have a .223 to purchase again. Had one a few years ago in tikka t3 and the thing was a tack driver. Situstion changed and had to part with it. (Gutted) now back in the market for another and I like the look of the howa 1500 oryx this time round. Will be setting up for foxing so thinkin of a pard on top.
Has anyone any dealing with the oryx and what the think of Howa. Would defo have a tikka again and I currently shoot x bolt .243

Cheers
Stevie

Was intrigued by the Oryx so googled it.

Howa 1500 oryx review. Chambered in 6.5 CM Pro's: - shoots decent groups with factory match grade ammo. Mine average .7" with this gun, best 3 shot group is .45", worst group was 1.13". (I shoot .26" 5 shot groups with my custom) - factory adjustable trigger is decent. Mine checked in at 2lbs...

Hello stevie my .243 is a savage model 12 i only use it to punch paper it would be a bit heavy for walking about with the oryx stock is about 4 pounds on its own if you were shooting fox from one position ie prone or of a rest it would be excellent.
