[QUOTE="clamb4, post: 2997169, member: 5812"] I bought a new stainless howa 1500, 3006 to build a custom. Got rid of the barrel, stock, and trigger. Then put a pacnor barrel chambered for 7mm rem mag. Had the bolt face opened for the 7mm. Had the receiver blue printed. Put in a timney trigger and bell and carlson stock. Glass bedded the stock. Put a burris veracity 4 x 20 scope on it when they first came out. I reload berger 168g vlds. At 3020' mv. Have been using this setup for years. Have killed lots of deer, antelope, and a few elk. Very stable rifle it shoots 1/2 to 3/4 moa. Probably shoots closer to half moa, but I am getting old. Longest kill was a Mule deer at 525 yards. It's been lots of fun over the years. Most people don't use howa 1500s to build a custom. But they are relatively cheap and they work. [/QUOTE]
