Howa M1100

does anyone have info on the performance and accuracy of this new gun ?
I shot some tiny groups, then it was throwing bullets wildly then back to bugholes. Problem turned out to be fore end flexing with bipod or rest putting pressure on the barrel. Before I could correct the problem I discovered the POI with my suppressor was over 15 inches low and left at 50 yards. The threads are not concentric to the bore. It is now on the way back to Legacy Sports International for repair.
I worked on the trigger and got the pull down to 12 ounces then adjusted it up to a consistent 18.5 ounces.

thanks for the feedback. do you think the gun is worth the trouble ? fit and finish overall quality ?
I love the feel of the rifle. Trigger is great. Stock flexes too much, but I think the barrel channel can be trimmed to minimize the effect. Action and magazine are good to go. Barrel finish could be better. Overall I like the rifle. LSI customer service has been great so far.

What scope base did you end up going with? I see egw has a 20moa Remington scope base that I heard might work?

Just checking in to see how you went with getting yours fixed & how it was performing now ??
 
Please let me know what the outcome is with the LSI repair job. I just bought a new M1100.

I am really hoping that these aren’t all plagued with the poi thread issue when using a suppressor

The primary goal for this rifle was to be a host for my rimfire suppressor

They said threads checked to be concentric to bore. I'm forced to shoot it without a suppressor. I've kinda lost interest in the rifle.
 
I shot mine for the first time today. Mine sighted in fairly quick. I didn’t experience any POI shift with my suppressor with CCI std sub sonic rnds.
But I did have ALOT of loading and feeding (kept trying to double feed with the Winchester 36 grain rounds)

the cci rounds seemed to load and feed with very few issues.
