I've done some stupid things in my life I will admit. The stupidest (is that really a word?)thing I have ever done was trade off a Howa 1500 in .22.250. Had the heavy barrel and gloss finish, but that thing would shoot like crazy. We're talking inch and a quarter groups. For TEN shots, any factory load, as I had no reloading stuff back then. I bought it in college for a prairie dog gun, but then could never get any of my buddies to go. Out the door it went for something more "useful". Now I am really kicking myself in the shorts. Never had a rifle like that before, or since. (Darn near teary eyed). I beleive every mfg has "good gun days" and "bad gun days" I almost hate to buy another cuz if it don't shoot as well as the first, I will be greatly dissappointed. Dipstick that I am, I am still trying to get the rifle I bought in august to shoot.
Good Luck
