Modify what I have, or sell and buy something else?

Definitely a scam site, you can only pay with Zelle or crypto.

I was referred to that site by CZ-USA in Kansas City.

Why not stick with Howa?

A Weathdrby Vanguard.

Anything new and lightweight, you are chancing an accuracy loss. IF your groups double in size; you are still less than 1 1/2".
More than adequate for 300 yard shots.

Find a rifle you like and go for it.

Are you using any NVD? or plan to? Are you planning on a particular caliber or sticking with 308?

No NVDs, I have two heavy barrel howas, on in 223 and one in 308. I’m modifying or replacing the 223.

That’s a good point. My only complaint about the vanguard is that the barrel is 6” longer than I’m looking for and not threaded.

Personally, I would have a hard time getting rid of an accurate rifle and risk buying one with unknown accuracy.

That’s my concern. I feel like most factory rifles under the $1k mark are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.

Hmmm I’ll have to give it a second look then.

Honestly the Christensen Scout is about perfect, but it’s about double what I was looking to spend at the moment.

That's why I say a Tikka. They shoot awesome every time, and the actions are the smoothest factory action you can get IMO.

Again what caliber are you wanting????

Good lord lose that scope and get a reasonable 3-9 or 2-7. That will shave a couple pounds off, looks like
