[QUOTE="ducky, post: 1690654, member: 94420"] My 16 year old daughter likes her .308 Howa Faux Alpine I put together for $600. $399 for the rifle at Sportsman's Warehouse and $200 for the Alpine stock off another forums classifieds. The rifle weighs 7lbs with Leupold 2.5-8X36 VXIII and Talley LWT mounts repurposed from a different rifle.
