[QUOTE="cgarb, post: 1167911, member: 55318"] Nothing wrong with a Howa. I have several of them. Word of advice with them is either their barrels are good or not...I have a 223 that does well. Accurate and it doesnt copper up bad. My stepsons 270 is a nice rifle also. My 300 win mag I wont shoot anymore till it gets another barrel. MOA accurate at 100yds but copper fouls something terrible. I got tired of cleaning. Bore must be as smooth as a stone driveway, its slow for the powder charge and fouls to where it wont shoot well in less than 20 shots. Their factory triggers are not the best, which isnt much different than a new 700. Either have it tuned or just replace with a timney. Bell and Carlson makes some cheaper stocks for them, Mcmillan and Manners make some higher end stuff. If you get a good factory barrel i wouldnt hesitate having one fitted in a good stock. Im sure it would shoot just fine. I would get one, put good glass on it, fix the trigger up and shoot it to see how it does. If its a shooter invest some more time and money. [/QUOTE]
