Re: Surplus DAG 7.62 Ammo I have no problem with the accuracy of the barrel, at least when its cool. Its a thin sporter profile, and gets hot really quick (especially in the blistering Oklahoma summer heat) and the groups start to open up. Call me impatient, but I don't like having to wait...

Re: Surplus DAG 7.62 Ammo I did some reading thanks to the Sniper's Hide google search you sent me, and it seems that the worry is the "lumpy" deposits. I have at least 600 rounds of the DAG (If not more) through the rifle, and have yet to see any signs of lumps in the bore. And some of what...

Re: Surplus DAG 7.62 Ammo I am paying 50 cents a round for the DAG right now.

Re: Surplus DAG 7.62 Ammo The United States Shooting Academy has stock piles of it, I think the only reason they still have any is because they don't sell it online, you have to walk in to the range store to get it.

I have a Howa 1500 in .308 that I want to get rebarreled. I found a local gunsmith to do the rebarrel, but as we were talking I told him about the ammo I have been shooting. Which is the cheap German surplus DAG 7.62, and he immediately refused to do the rebarrel until I promised to not shoot it...

Re: Bell and Carlson 6655-Weatherby Vanguard/Howa 1500 I have the same stock but with the rounded forend (the one with no vents). I like it very much, haven't tried bedding it, just torqued the action in and called it good. I find it shoots just fine that way, shot a sub-moa group with the...

Re: howa action vs rem 700 action As far as I am aware, there are no companies using the Howa footprint. However, I don't think such a thing is necessary. I bought a stock off the self Howa, and I feel in love with the darn thing, and I have never had any problem finding accessories for the...

Re: Howa 1500 upgrades Thanks for all the replies guys. I have gone ahead and ordered a B&C stock. Going to get the action installed and then see how it shoots before I decide on whether or not I really need/want to re-barrel right now, will probably give the Legacy arms BM a look as well.

Re: Howa 1500 upgrades And I have no problem with the accuracy of the stock barrel, just don't like how quick the darn thing heats up, I feel like I have to stop and let it cool every 4 or 5 rounds. Of course I am new to the whole precession shooting thing, so maybe thats what I am supposed...

Re: Howa 1500 upgrades fraz, I know that legacy Sports, the Howa importer, now sells their own mag-feed bottom metel, well its polymer but anyway. Its something like half the price of the CDI, but I can't attest to its quality, uses its own proprietary mags to, still less expensive then the...

Re: Howa 1500 upgrades Its currently got the stock sporter barrel on it.

Hello all. I have been reading posts on the forum for quite some time, and I now find myself with a question. I purchased a Howa 1500 in .308 a few months ago. I have been shooting as much as I can afford to and have really come to love it, but I feel its time to start making upgrades. For the...
