[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 846151, member: 17844"] The Howa and the Weatherby Vanguard are essentially the same gun off the same production line. The features are the same as a CMC Australian Mountaineer of which I was shooting before Howas came along . The design is nothing like a Mauser 98 except in basic front locking concept which every front locker can claim. The front of the bolt is Remington except the extractor which is ALA an M16 claw . The bolt dissasemble is Sako . The fixed recoil lug ALA Mauser . I think a lot of stuff is said in advertisng blurbs that end up in history files as a fact and it's not always right. My CMC Australian Mountaineer made in Japan is identicle to a a Howa 1500 action and it was made before the Howa brand came out , what year I can't say for sure . The CMC company is now gone but Howa has copied their design , maybe they bought the designs or maybe they always owned them , I don't know . [/QUOTE]
