I'll keep on it.
Who knows, maybe Lucky 13 one day.
The internet gives up that perhaps a few firms in the US are playing around with new bottom metal designs that take the AR15 mags.
This would be great, because a 10 shot metal AR mag would be the icing on the cake.
But I understand, not everyone cares about this idea.
To me, the stainless Howa mini is a world class little action/barrel set up for hard farm use, as capable as my Sako 223 varmint, without the perfect beautiful mag setup of the Sako. Only let down, again, to me, by a really cheapie standard stock and triggerguard/mag set up. Nothing surprising about that, because they are made for a particular market segment.
I'm not bothered by what $$$ percentage of the firearm is when looking at accessories. The scopes on ours cost more than the rifles, which isn't unusual. If I thought that way, I'd have Nikko scopes on them too, "not the there's anything wrong with that".
Appreciate the discussion.
