It's the Teir One Evolution Tactical.
I really wanted that style of bipod and it's about the only option.
Howa 1500 20" Heavy .308 SA from Brownells, got it with the Memorial Day discount out the door for $419 from my FFL after ePICS (PA NICS) fee.
Threw it in a MDT XSS-XL Gen 2 with a Talley picatinny rail, MDT 7 inch ARCA section, PRS Lite, B5 Systems T22 grip, and a SF3P waiting for my RC2-762 to be approved.
NF 7-35 F1 in a Reptilia 1.54 AUS mount with a diving board.
Was not expecting much for under $1100 all in minus the glass and mount I pulled off an M110A3. Shot 5rd groups under 0.75MOA at 100yd with Federal GMM 175s. The piece of shit MDT GRND bipod fell apart though, stripped screw inside, have an RMA opened up will get an accutac next time

Does anyone own this rifle or have any insight on it? I recently bought a MPA Matrix rifle 6.5 CM, but I won't see it for 16-18 weeks.
I still need to learn fundamentals and everything about shooting basically so I decided to buy a .22LR to practice with until my other rifle comes. This is the one I am considering. Also will I have any issues mounting a scope to this? I can't tell if the sights that come it are removable or not.

Probably a question best asked of Youtube.Does anyone own this rifle or have any insight on it? I recently bought a MPA Matrix rifle 6.5 CM, but I won't see it for 16-18 weeks.

I figured this thread had the Howa experts. People on YouTube could be getting paid to say good things lol.
That's fair.
I typically watch a few different reviews if for no other reason but to get a general idea of what it is I'm looking at.
You might try asking for impressions/ review of that rifle in the Rimfire forum.

Oh wow, I actually didn't know this existed. Might make a decent beater 22.
Back in 2014, I bought an old Howa 1500 chambered in .308 off a buddy for $200; he'd won it in a local gun raffle. I finally decided it was time for some upgrades.
I swapped out the stock for a Stocky’s Stock VGA and drilled and tapped it for an SRS mini Arca rail. The original Nikon Monarch scope was replaced with a Leica Amplus 6, still SFP but now its capable of dialing for distance. I’m excited to see how it shoots when I hit the range next weekend.

Anybody know a shop that has howa barrels with barrel nuts ready to go out the door?
Also, what action wrench and barrel vice do you guys recommend? My barrel just started shooting crappy and losing speed. It's shot out so now I'm looking.
Is Criterion going to be the only option right now?

For the same price as that barrel you could get a Howa rifle barreled action off brownells. At least until you can get your hands on the barrel you want.
I got a Short Action Customs action wrench and I got my barrel vice on amazon.
How's everyone cleaning their bolts?
I've had a few light primer strikes. Not surprised, I haven't cleaned the damn thing ever. I've got the bolt all stripped out. I was thinking of putting the bolt body and firing pin assembly in acetone for a bit to remove old grease. Then wipe with an old toothbrush, then re-oil with some hobo oil.
