Howa guns?

My Howa 1500 in .270 out shoots my dad and my wife's Remington 700's all day long. It shoots consistent groups. I traded a Ruger M77 strait across for it back in 1994 and never regretted it.

Thanks for the input guys. Think i might go down to the gun shop and get some more "hands on" and see what they have available. thanks again

Uh, aren't you pointing it the wrong way?

Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong. 

I took that picture after I free floated the barrel.

Howa rifles are well made and accurate. If you find one you like go for it, you should not have any issues. Look at the Weatherby Vanguards, they put a really nice piece of walnut on the deluxe models!

I have a howa 1500 in 300 win. and my only issue with it is that the trigger really sucks! i plan on replaceing it soon.

Howa triggers are easily adjustable.  I have a custom .257 AI on a Howa action, trigger breaks perfectly at 3 lbs.  No creep or over travel at all.

I had a gunsmith work on my Weatherby Vanguard trigger. The lowest he could get it was 4 1/4 lbs. So I ended up having him install a new Timney trigger which is set at 2 1/2 lbs.

Imho one of the best rifles for the money.   I purchased a heavy barreled varmint 22-250 in 04 for $440.   I bought a boyds thumbhole, glass bedded and floated it, and got the trigger down below 2lbs.  Most accurate rifle i own, has prined sub .2" groups
