Howa .243 soooo stoked
« on: December 28, 2014, 01:21:47 PM »
I bought this rifle awhile back and have not shot it until today,I ran the hornady .58 grain V max through it and wooza,what a shooter..I bought it with a cheaper scope on it and will update the scope quick if not sooner..Even with the heavy duplex It was 3/4 inch group by the time I got it zeroed in at 100 yrds,,I love it when a gun fits and performs well....

I do believe the Weahtherby Vanguards are the same barreled actions as the Howa 1500's and made by the Chinese. My 257 Weatherby is a shooter too.

Good choice youngman............
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Howa has always been made in Japan. It's stamped "made in Japan" on my Vanguard barrel. When did they start making them in China?
