Thread: Howa 1500 torque settings.

@timattalon Its a secondhand rifle that apparently only had 80 down the tube. I fired 3 shots and all of them missed the target and hit the ground under it so it's hard to know the grouping, after 3 misses I decided something was wrong and called it a day. It may well be my shooting and I'll hopefully find out tomorrow if I get a chance to take it out again. I haven't had a huge amount of time behind a centrefire but have shot a fair bit of .22.
@Sako851 I'll give the nail polish trick a go and if I need to, will grab some loctite. I'm shooting down at my local river, right down The end where is impossible for anyone to get past, then shooting into a large bank. Probably not the best place in the world but even though I know it's safe I dont like shooting more than 3-5 rounds down there at a time. I'm hoping to get to the Ashburton range early next year and spend a decent amount of time behind the gun.
It was clean when I got it but have cleaned it again after 20 or so rounds and will probably clean and oil it after every use.
