    Howa rifles?

    Thinking about picking up another 6.5 Creedmoor and this Howa 24" cerakote brown with the houge multicam stock sure has caught my eye. Love the detachable magazine also. Seems like a lot of gun for 605 bare rifle. Anyone have any experience with Howa rifles? If so what was your opinion?

    Man that dude looks slick! I've got a heavy barrel 22-250 with laminate stock. Shoots lights out!! I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

      I had a howa ranchland in .308 ... It shot excellent and seemed really well built

          They are not flashy rifles but very well built. I wouldn't have an issue buying another

            I have one in .308 they are super accurate and super well built. I shot a five shot group at 600 yard with a fixed 6 power scope and they were all in a group about the size of a snuff can, brought it back to 200 and shot a three shot group, they were all in a quarter/nickel size group with factory ammo. I recommend these rifles.

              Mine has a 20" heavy #6 contour barrel. It shoots everything but Winchester 150 grain power points and Turkey made FMJ ammo in less than an inch at 100. I really like mine. I like the multi camo. Mine is all dipped in Kryptek.

                I have a .308 and .243 and both are great shooters right out of the box.

                    Have a ranch land .243, I do a lot of trading and selling and this one will never be available. Love it

                      Built a custom 204 and it's absolutely amazing. I put quality on par with any other rifle in the 1000-1500$ price range

                        Buddy of mine has a 20" heavy barrel 308. I like it fine enough, shoots pretty good. I'm not a fan of Hogue stocks, they feel nice, but in essence, they're just Tupperware with some soft rubber on the outside. His trigger feels kinda weird to me, but it works fine. It's like a two stage, but the first stage is adjusted so low it feels like a sloppy single stage, maybe just an adjustment issue on his though, I don't know.

                        Aside from those minor details, which can be corrected, it's a fine rifle.

                          I have a 223 with the 10 round detachable mag option. Feeds slick as frog snot and is as accurate as any out of the box rifle I have ever fooled with. I would have no trouble with buying another one.

                            I shot a Howa Ranchland .204 and a Howa .223 for a while. Both were super accurate. My grandpa and one of my buddies have the Howa Axiom in .308 and another buddy of mine has one in a 22-250. They're as accurate as you'd ever need a rifle to be I suppose.

                              I put one together for a friend of mine in .243 for his grandkids, and he loves it. It was WAY sub-MOA with Hornady premium ammo right out of the box... Trigger wasn't the best, but was adjustable so I fixed that... I'd have no problem recommending it as a good shooter.
