[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 361457, member: 11717"] Matt, I have a S&W M1500 which is made by Howa and the same action as a Howa M1500, also the same as a Weatherby Vanguard. I found my trigger was extremely easy to tune. All I did was to back out the trigger pull weight screw to where I liked it which is about 1 - 1 1/2 lbs. It breaks very crisp with no creep. Apparantley not all Howa triggers are that easy to adjust. Kiwi Nate, who is a gunsmith, did a tuttorial on how to adjust a Howa trigger in the gunsmithing forum... [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f37/howa-trigger-adjustment-how-52584/[/URL] As far as stocks go, IMO B&C probably make the best stock for the $$$. You can get a full aluminum bedded Medalist for about $250 or less. You can get a pillar bedded Hogue for a lot less but not quite the quality of the B&C. Before you buy any barrels, you might try the one that's one it. It might be a tack driver. If you can get sub MOA out of it with factory ammo you might get sub .5 MOA out of it with good handloads and bedded in a good stock. If you get a custom barrel, you should really consider a blue print by a good gunsmith for another couple of hundred. Good shooting, -Mark [/QUOTE]
