[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1852683, member: 85987"] I have loaded for 4 howas 2 270'sof which 1 is my own. a 7 mag that wouldn't shoot and a 06 same thing. The 2 that didn't shoot have new laminate stocks and shoot sub 1/2moa mine shoots sub 1/2 moa and the 7mag now shoots 3/4moa. The 06 has been amazing, with 165gamekings and 178 eldx it's ragged holes. I have mine in a chassis and I gained 1/2# but better balanced and my zero doesn't wonder now that I have figured out the ring situation. I also opened my action for a 3.7 coal. The bolt stop ground down so it works at the proper length to function. Fo me it was just a scribe line from the magwell of the LSS XL a bridgeport and 10 minutes time. This will be a switch barrel and If I can get a mag bolt face bolt it will be a 300 prc and 270. I had one being put together on a 700 but my smith (dad) is sick so I'll have to wait till he feels better. One great thing about the Howa is they are usually very good for being straight. Add in they have a flat bottom all the aftermarket features of a custom 700 and they are affordable [/QUOTE]
