I bought a Howa mini 223 a couple of years ago. Really accurate; love the gun. But, I really wish they hadn't let Homer Simpson design the magazine latch. It's the one thing that I dislike about it.
When I was deciding what to buy I fell in love with the Remington model 7; but it was $600 dearer. And as I was pretty broke; decided that the Model 7 wouldn't kill goats and deer $600 "deader"...... Sorta regret it a bit as the Model 7 was the nicest "pointing" and handling rifle I'd had a play with. But overall I'm pleased with the Howa; but would prefer a 5-shot flush mag.......
I'm thinking of getting new 7mm-08 (sick of the POS Marlin XS&....). Had a play with a Savage light weight; but didn't like it's handling; just felt clunky..... So maybe a Remmy Model 7......
Nothing wrong with the Howa they are very accurate and well priced, my brother in law has one and loves it. I have had mine for many years and it still shoots good and yes they are nice to carry and point well.
