    Howa 1500 .243 groups

    ...I like the new site layout... Well, I finally finished building my first "Sniper" rifle. (I quote the word sniper because I am not a sniper and this rifle will most likely never see any sniper-time) I like it so far... It is heavy, but that equates to shooting comfort. The bolt slides very...

    Rifle Scopes two questions, Howa rail, ring height

    1) Who makes a 20MOA 1-piece rail for a Howa 1500/WBY Vanguard besides Roedale precision? 2) I have Leupold low PRW rings holding my scope onto a Roedale rail on my Sako 75 at the moment, the scope sits irritatingly high. What's another quality option for lower 1" rings than the low PRWs, but...

    223 AI build on a Howa or Rem 700

    I have both actions available for this build. I like the Rem because you can get anything for it, but the Vanguard/Howa action seems to feed the 223AI much easier and smoother IMO. I've been reading a lot about the 223AI and the 75 amax bullets. Seems to be a great little setup in an 8 twist...

    Stock Howa barreled action??

    I am thinking about giving the Howa a try. I can buy a barreled action for around 400 bucks. What do you guys think of these stock rifles. Are they any more accurate than a remington? On average anyway?? Lee

    Hello all, So far I've found Roedale Precision, who can blueprint and rebarrel both Howa and Tikka actions, and Mtguns, who does work on Tikkas, but who else (gunsmith) does truing and rebarreling work on Howa 1500s and Tikka T3s? Thanks.
