Howa Mini 22" $429, went to look at RAR, it was gone, liked the Howa so bought it.

Me too

I wanted one of the Vortex scopes in the optics thread, 2-10, illuminated or the HD version none illuminated but to keep in budget and had to buy it before the sale ended ordered the Sightron, hope I like it!

I would of held off for the SWFA 9.6 ounce scope if they had a date of when expected to receive more inventory. If they get more and I can get a sale or a decent military discount I might give one a try unless I really like the Sightron.

Actually I expect it to shoot as well as any Howa, great or not quite so great but not bad. I will shoot it before I cut down the barrel just in case I get a lemon.

Have you looked through the 9.6 oz SWFA’s? I’ve got several, just curious.
