Someone should buy one and satisfy my curiosity!
Something is not right with that ad.
Howa combos use Nikko Sterling scopes, not Vortex.
This is either a used "one off" or something smells.
Not 63 of these.

From what I understand this Howa combo was a special make up (SMU) for the distributor Bill Hicks Co out of MN.

Now as to having 63 available, I find that more than a little off. If in fact this is the Hicks SMU they don't even have any!

Edit/Correction! I just stopped by the LGS. Bill Hicks is one of their go-to distributors. Hicks does in fact have 63 (62 now, 'cuz I ordered one) in stock.

I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.
