Wholesale Sports sells them, or they used to anyway. If you're ordering from the US I hear Prophet River is the way to go but I haven't used them myself.

For that kinda coin you can likely have a good gunsmith twist a quality barrel onto an action of your choice and put the whole works into a better stock than an HS. Just a thought but if your set on an HS I can say I have heard nothing but positive comments on Prophets importing services.

Default new or used?

I see them on occasion on lots of the miscellaneous gun sites across Canada, and the U.S. As stated, Clay at Prophet River is quick and painless to deal with for bringing them in, but there are a few out there for sale (used). What Caliber did you have in mind?

Default HS Precision

I have an HS Precision HTR in .300 WM. Great gun. I purchased mine from Wholesale sports however ordering one in from the states is a sure bet that you'll get the caliber you're looking for. For the record mine shoots sub moa.

p&d has a few in .223 . i think im going to contact them and ask them if they can order what i want rather than having to deal with a us company and a seperate importer. that would be easiest.

Get a hold of Barton's in Grande Prairie. They stock quite a few of them. Should be no problem get a 7mm or .300 win mag from them.

Bought my PHR 300Win Mag at No-sale Sports. Was going to order one and do the whole paperwork thing through Prophet as I am left handed but ended up finding one at Wholesale in Calgary.

Awesome rifle, its only limiting factor is my shooting. Consistently doing 0.4-0.5 at 100 with handloads.
