Howa 22 RF - Model 1100

Has anyone heard "boo" about these, there are a few mutterings on the aussie forums and a couple of retailer listings offering delivery in Feb . . . . https://www.cleaverfirearms.com/Prod...fles&Brand=113 (just under half way down the page).

Can't say as I'm fond of the look of the stock but it looks like it might be a good alternative to the Tikka T1x (which I refuse to buy due to Beretta NZ policies) and the Lithgow LA101.

I bet the dopey marketing people at Legacy are trying to "sit" on them for a Launch at the SHOT show or something . . .

They don't look aesthetically pleasing at all. Be good of they had a Rem 700 foot print and came in 17HMR and WSM

Be nice to be able to buy the range of Howa rifles shown at those prices..............

I believe they do.
Like the bergara, aimed at prs style shooting and cheaper big bore training.

They certainly have a bigger range to choose from than here! Is the HOWA 1500 ULTRALIGHT SS a replacement for the mountain rifle? Pity they sopped making them; i was keen on one for later in the year......

First one is already in the country being evaluated. More to follow soon.

Evaluated by who ?
