Howa Australian Precision Chassis (APC) Rifle. New...but how much different from the HCR?

[fhsjrm]

Howa has released a rifle they’re calling the Australian Precision Chassis Rifle. It looks a lot like the HCR to me. I asked Howa what was different about it via Facebook Messenger and they said, “Chassis system and magazine system”. Have any of y’all handled or shot one of these?

The visually apparent differences are very minor and it uses an inferior magazine system. Not sure I see the point of it.

It's cheaper!

Where did you find the price? And however much less it is, I doubt it makes up for the lack of a standardized magazine.

Since it is built for Australia they have a left hand twist.

I just did a gun.deals search. It’s only about $60-75 less.

But they do make a version with extra Merica.
