    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.

    @H.M. This one could be worth looking closer at. It has the black speckled laminate stock and is suppressed. Not sure about the scope. It could be a bushnell AR/223 or a chinese knock off, I cannot tell. But suppressed and with the laminate stock it could be worth checking out.
