    Howa 1500 APC .308

    Any recommendations to replace an MBA-4 milspec butt stock for precision shooting? I’d like to adjust my Howa .308 to a precision rifle with as much reliable accuracy as possible and welcome any advice. This is my first post & first AR, albeit a bolt action. My primary goal is precision with...

    300 Win Mag Howa 1500 Prefit Help

    I have spoken to Shilen, Criterion, and Preferred Barrel Blanks so far. I really wanted a hand lapped new barrel for this Howa 1500 action.

    Gunsmithing Where to find blueprints or CAD for Howa 1500 LA/SA and Savage 10 Actions?

    I am a product designer and have a question on where to find/purchase if possible blueprints of at least the bedding surfaces for the actions for these rifles. I know I could simply tear down a rifle, but that will only give me the dimensions of that rifle. For the purpose I am looking for I...

    New to LR shooting

    Hey everybody, I'm brand new to the world of long range and precision shooting. I work at a small LGS and after a few of our customers came in and ordered certain rifles I've been bitten by the bug. I'm on a very tight budget so my first rifle is likely to be a Howa 1500 with a 22" barrel and...
