    Manners T4 Fitment - What Am I In For?

    Re: Manners T4 Fitment - What Am I In For? No mini-chassis for the T4 series using a Howa action, so would have to bed. Since I do not know how to do this, would need to pay someone to do it, driving the cost to levels that are close to a full blown chassis which also has a detachable mag...

    How Do You Buy a Howa Barreled Action!!!

    Re: How Do You Buy a Howa Barreled Action!!! No private number I can find for the chiropractor/FFL (whoever thought those two words would be in the same sentence?). I will probably just buy it off GunBroker. It is unnerving that for me, here in this area, GunBroker is the ONLY source to get...

    Detachable Mags - Benefit?

    I really like the look of detachable mags, but for my shooting off a bench, not sure there is any compelling reason for them. Fact is, on my AR15, the mags are a pain to remove since they hit the bench before clearing the mag well (unless I use a 5 round mag) But, maybe there is some other...

    Manners T4 Fitment - What Am I In For?

    I will be building a rifle based on the Howa 1500 action in 223 and am considering the Manners T4. Costly, but figure a step up from the B&C Medalist, even if used for just shooting off a bench. I see the T4 has pillars (which I know nothing about). What am I in for to fit the Howa to this...

    How Do You Buy a Howa Barreled Action!!!

    Re: How Do You Buy a Howa Barreled Action!!! I contacted Jerry's. There are five distribution centers for Jerry's, and I called two. Unbelievably, there is just ONE dealer in my home town zip code area. It was a name of a person. I called and got a chiropractic office. ??? The last name...

    How Do You Buy a Howa Barreled Action!!!

    From my experience, Howa has made it VERY difficult to buy anything from them. I want one of their barreled actions. I contacted www.legacysports.com. The impatient sales guy tells me that I have to go a distributor for these (uh...I thought that YOU were the distributor). He tells me I have...

    Chassis for Howa 1500?

    Re: Chassis for Howa 1500? I had hoped I could find a chassis, like an AICS, since the Manners T4 plus CDI bottom metal and mag come to about $815. Use a Manners T4A, it is about $950. XLR Industries will inlet the Howa for no extra cost and it is $720 ready to go. I rather prefer the AICS...

    Chassis for Howa 1500?

    New to bolt actions, but quickly saw that if one wants to have an adjustable stock and detachable mag, a chassis system such as that from Accuracy International makes sense. But, they are Remington 700 only and I wish to use a Howa. Anything else out there that will work with the Howa? Pete...

    Case Life - How Many Uses?

    I am new to reloading, and before I sink some $$$ into cases, what is an average case life in a production bolt action? Say Remington 700 stock action and barrel in 223 or 308. What about an AR semi-auto? Phil

    Recoil: 223 (no brake) vs 308 (w/brake)

    Recoil: 223 (no brake) vs 308 (w/brake)

    How would the recoil of a 223 without muzzle brake compare to that of a 308 with muzzle brake (Ben Cooley "large profile). http://www.jprifles.com/1.4.3_tre.php Both rifles would be bolt action. Would like a 308, but wife may shoot and so need to be conscious of recoil. - Phil

    Bolt Action Recommendation

    Re: Bolt Action Recommendation Dylan, Thanks for your comprehensive reply. It looks like the CZ452 is being replaced by CZ455. Opinions on that? - Phil

    Bolt Action Recommendation

    I would like to get in some training on shooting techniques at our 50 and 100 yard range so I can shoot more precisely with my AR15 223 and also have something my wife can shoot. She liked shooting the Ruger 10/22 we have, but wants a bolt action. I am looking at the Savage Mark II TR...

    Howa Action: Detachable Mag and Stock Fit?

    I am finding it hard to ignore the Howa actions for a first rifle build (223) that my wife and I will shoot. I can have action, barrel, and stock I want for $767. I like detachable mags. Anything out there for the Howa that will fit a Bell & Carlson Medalist Tactical stock (#2998)without...

    Gunsmithing Recommend a Gunsmith in San Francisco Bay Area

    Re: Recommend a Gunsmith in San Francisco Bay Area I checked out Spartan Rifles website and it looks impressive. Would love to have one of his rifles, but higher end than I am willing to spend (at least until the shooting bug really takes hold). Will check to see if does simple things, like...

    Howa 1500 Action w/o Barrel & 6mmBR

    Re: Howa 1500 Action w/o Barrel & 6mmBR I have some concerns over changing the barrel on the Howa. It is apparently a gunsmith only affair that can be quite difficult. - Phil

    Gunsmithing Recommend a Gunsmith in San Francisco Bay Area

    I will probably need some gunsmithing work done in the near future and would like to know if anyone could recommend a good smith in the San Francisco bay area. I can always mail parts to smiths located further away, but thought it would be beneficial to establish a good face to face...

    Howa 1500 Action w/o Barrel & 6mmBR

    I rather like what I hear about the Howa 1500 action and am considering using one to build a rifle. But, www.legacysports is the only place that seems to sell them and only with a barrel. I would like to use the action and shoot 6mmBR. I don't know anything about barrel fitment to the Howa...
