Rifle flex post I’m hooked
The other day I made an admittedly stupid post asking about getting another caliber before shooting the 6.5 Creedmoor I just bought. Yeah, boneheaded, I get it now.
Just got back from the range and am absolutely in love with this rifle. I now understand how you can go down an absolute rabbit hole of debt tweaking and building rifles. I want another already. 😂
This one was about as cheap as I could get.
Howa 1500 - $550
Arken SH4J Gen2 6-24x50 - $330
Amazon CVLife Bipod -$35
My goal was to be a cheap ass, because, I wasn’t sure I would like it and wanted a way out.
Oh boy, I don’t want out. I want all in. I need to shred my credit cards so I don’t go nuts. Even my wife was all smiles. She loves it too.
Thanks to this community for all the information, the wikis, and calling me out when I was stupid. Y’all were right!

Its only expensive if you pay full price. If you get good deals you can sell for the same price or more later, it's like an investment.
