I got my CZ 527 .223 Varmint Laminate last month. I have had it out shooting once. I actually took out some milk jugs at 400 yards. It took a few shots to get the distance right. Great fun.
Now my problem is that I am wondering about the joys that a 22-250 could offer me.
I actually missed a pretty nice deal on a Howa the other day. One of my buddies called me and said he had been to a local shop and bought a 22-250 Howa Varmint with a scope for $355.00. It had a heavy barrel and a black synthetic stock. The scope was a 3x9x42 some sort of Japanese off brand, but it was pretty clear. I would probably pick a higher powered scope in a 22-250, but $355.00 was a pretty good deal for the package.
BIL and I decided we would go get one. We got there and they only had one. I just got my .223, so I let BIL have it. They are trying to get me another one, but I heard the owner in the back cussing out the sales guy because they were only making 10% on the gun. I doubt at this point that they are going to give me the same deal. Another odd thing that happened was that the sales guy offered to mount and bore sight the scope. Then we also heard the owner tell him. "Charge them $10.00 for that scope Mount". This was after he tried to tell us that the gun didn't come with a scope. The sales guy opened up the box and showed him. I think he wanted to sell the scope seperately or something. I hate it when gun store owners are jerks. Especially at the store that has all the good stuff . (Gallenson's in Salt Lake for you Utah boys) Funny thing is that just amongst my buddies, that store sold 5 of those packages. They must have bought theirs when the owner wasn't around.
So...... Talk me into, or out of a 22-250. -Oh am keeping the .223.
Has anyone see this package anywhere else?
