Howa Rifles

[Larryjk]

madmurph, The only disadvantage I can see to a Howa actioned rifle is that the receiver has metric threads. The exact thread is 29 X 1.5. What that means is that if you shoot the barrel out and want it rebarreled, the gunsmith is going to run around in circles until you get him stopped by offering a water glass full of single malt scotch. Seriously, the gunsmith will have to change some gears to cut the metric (maybe) and will charge a little more for the job.
I know this to be true because I have to rebarrel one for a fellow and I told him about the scotch.
