[QUOTE="Philward, post: 2997335, member: 92604"] Howa 1500 actions can be found in many configurations and manufacturers over the years. Weatherby Vanguards, Smith and Wesson imported them under their name as 1500, 1550 (DBM) version, and 1700LS, a lightweight version with nicer stock, and Mossberg had them as the 1500 and 1550. Don't hesitate to buy one if it looks interesting to you. Triggers are not great onthe ones I have dealt with but no experience with the newer ones. I have a Vanguard in 257WBY stainless in plastic stock with Timney trigger that shoots fine, and a Mossberg 1550 in 30-06 in plain wood stock and it shoots fine too. Dad has had several Vanguards and a couple of the Mossberg 1550 and one S&W 1700LS that he called the kangaroo rifle because it jumped so bad when firing it, it was 30-06. I think he bought a 223 in a Howa recently and it seems to shoot well. [/QUOTE]
