[QUOTE="ThrdKllr, post: 1720067, member: 110734"] Go ahead and pull the trigger, you won’t be sorry. I have 3 of them and may get more. They use the same 2 pc. scope bases as Rem. 700 but are spaced out different on the short action but I’m not sure on the long. Their barrels are hammer forged as well as the action. Solid 1 piece bolt that can be stripped down with no tools in the field if necessary. The short actions are longer than the Remington so bullets can be seated longer. I have 1 I rebarreled from 308 to 6.5 Creedmoor with a Bartlein 26” barrel and put it in a B&C Medalist stock. I used to hunt with a guy who had a Smith&Wesson 1500 in 7mmRM (which is a Howa) and it was amazingly accurate. Like I said go ahead and pull the trigger. [/QUOTE]
