Re. the Weatherby name near the Howa, they're the same gun. As for a scope, if you can stretch to a Leupold you can't go wrong. Just the best you can afford, a secondhand jap tasco would be a good option.

Thanks again all.

Quite Iike the Howa, taking him down to choose though because a rifle is such a personal thing.  The Howa is $560 bare I can get quality rings for $80 and a Leuopold VX1  3-9x40 for $245. Interestingly they also had Howa packages but only in 30-06 which was rifle, scope, bag and kife for $560!

Shooting pigs and foxes.....hmmmmm. If it was me, 270 for pigs and 22 hornet for Foxes....Of the two you mentioned I'm not a fan of 223 and would have 22 250 if I had to choose from only those two. 270 is a fav all round hunting round for pigs and deer.....:-)

Good luck....

I'm with you and had just that. Just getting my gun licence again now we have a place to play ad get sponsored.
