Thread: Howa good is your Howa? (picture heavy)

Thought I'd bring this thread back up to the top , because Howa's deserve Top Billing .

Got my new .223 Sporter barrelled action recently to replace my old CMC/Howa and as soon as I got it my Daughter declared it hers

Brand new out of the box .




First job is glue on a Rubber bolt knob , have them now on all my rifles and I really like the feel and usability compared with the small Factory knob .



Next was to raid the Timney trigger off the old CMC



Bare rifle with bolt in wearing the HI-Tec Stock .



Complete rifle with Talley rings and Meopta 3-9 Scope ( no ammo )



It shoots Factory Fiocchi 60gn ammo easily under an inch ( 20mm-22mm three shot groups )

But then I realised that I had a better scope on a rifle that I'm not using much at the moment so bought some 30mm Talleys and mounted it up , but I haven't weighed it yet .
I'm very happy with it so far , and will start load development with it soon .

Ah I miss my Duralyt! I had that exact scope. Brilliant. Probably my biggest regret selling that one!
