Howa 1500 carbon fiber

[Elkeater]

So I was supposed to be grocery shopping but I ended up at the local gun shop. No idea how it happened. They had a Howa 1500 with a carbon fiber barrel in 6.5 CM on the shelf and it seemed pretty nice.

Almost bought it but wasn't sure on it. Anyone have any info on these? I know they are new this year.

I started a tread that I will link here, not much info or interest here I am afraid, good specs to me, HS Pre. stock, Howa/Vanguard action. We don't know who makes the barrel, which is a biggie: https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/howa-carbon.265856/

I have owned two howa 1500 a proper bedding job and they both shot very well I did end up replacing the trigger on one and have been very pleased with it the other was given to a neighbors son, myself I would not be scared of it at all neither were a carbon barrel though
