[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1009982, member: 50867"] If your Howa has an overmolded stock (usually some form of reinforced polymer with a covering of rubber of other material) it could be part of the problem. I'd suggest making sure everything was properly torqued and free float was verified before you look at anything else. Check to make sure there isn't something in the barrel channel (sometimes there's a bit of the rubber covering at the front of the barrel channel that touches the barrel) and that nothing in front of the barrel lug contacts the barrel's underside. You may not be able to find any flex in the stock if you put pressure on it by hand but the flex point that you can't readily test, at the front of the action, could be contributing to your problem.
