Anyone seen these out on the market yet? I've got a 50th birthday coming soon and thought I might treat myself to one and the Oregon Gunsmithing bottom metal. With a good lightweight scope, seems like it would make a great walking rifle without spending a small fortune.
Just thought I'd update. I talked to a local Howa dealer today. The owner checked with different suppliers and only one even had it listed, and it was listed as "Coming Soon", so they are evidently not available to the general public yet.
