    Howa 1500 Starter Rifle

    Re: Howa 1500 I just recently put together a Howa 1500 action with a B&C stock (same set up that SoCal Pete mentioned in his post). I have only taken it to the range once but it is a very nice shooting rifle. Groups ranged in size from .41" to right around 1.0" at 100 yds with a variety of...

    What do you think is a good inexpensive stock?

    Re: What do you think is a good inexpensive stock? I just purchased a Bell and Carlson stock for a Howa Barreled Action build that I put together and I am pretty impressed with it, especially for a $230 stock. I used to have an FN SPR with a McMillan stock and it fit me better than just...

    Rem 700 5R or Savage 5R?

    Re: Rem 700 5R or Savage 5R? Thanks again for the replies. I decided to go a totally different direction and am building a rifle with a Howa action and Bell and Carlson stock. A bit of departure from the rifles I listed above, but I have heard some good things about the Howa actions and...

    Rem 700 5R or Savage 5R?

    I've been away from shooting for a while and have decided to get back into the hobby. I used to have an FN SPR that I really liked, and back when I bought it I feel like it was a good value. That same rifle is several hundred dollars more now so I am looking at alternatives. I am not trying...

    FN SPR/TSR experience?

    Re: FN SPR/TSR experience? I bought an SPR A1 back in 2003, right around the time FN released the second generation. Fantastic rifle, especially for the money. At that time I picked it up for just over $1k. One of the nicest things about that rifle is it shot a wide variety of handloads...
