Howa makes good stuff....Including the Weatherby Vanguard line.
If you decide you don't like that one you can have it re-barreled.
I bought one in .308 last Dec. and couldn't be happier for the money.
Glad to hear they make a good rifle! I ordered a bipod and buttstock ammo holder for it, Havent been able to shoot her yet but im looking forward to it! Thanks fellas!
