I’ve got the Howa and like everything about it, except the mags(feel cheap and flimsy) and the mag release. I had a couple feeding issues with Hornady 110s, though I’m not sure if it is the mag or the ammo. Never had an issue with 190s or 220s.
My problem with the magazine release is just because of its location.
I keep hoping someone like MDT will either build a chassis that works with other mags or design a new mag, but no luck.
There is also the Savage, Ruger, and Remington Model 7, if you can find one.
