RWS Model 89 (aka Howa 1500)

As the types of shooting I'm doing has changed, I'm reducing the number of rifles I have further...so for sale is my RWS Model 89 in 222 Rem. It has a 21 inch barrel, 1:12 twist and threaded for 1/2 UNF - if you're needing a moderator for it, I'll throw in the BR Tuote T8 moderator for free. While not a fashionable round, I've no complaints with the 222 and have taken it out to 400m at Cawdor with excellent results.
Although it is branded a RWS it is for all intents and purposes a Howa 1500. I have checked it against another Howa 1500 and all parts were interchangable including the aftermarket DM kit. The stock is a Boyds Varmint thumbhole for a Howa 1500 with an Anschutz accessory rail and was donated by a FB member - the original stock (Howa branded, incidently) I donated to another forum member.
£300 + transfer costs.
