Howa Mini 22" $429, went to look at RAR, it was gone, liked the Howa so bought it.

I picked up a box of ELD ammo as well today, only one in stock, $27.99, now I have 740 of them

Assuming you're saying you have 740 rounds of the ELD, you do realize that at roughly $1.40 a round you could have bought a second rifle and reloading gear?? ~Riuma
