    Howas come in 6.5x55, with an 1:8 twist too. I wish I knew that before I went custom Howa.

    Definately get a Howa.

    I will email my local shop while in aussie and see if they can dig me up a howa in 6.5x55 if not then will stick with my original decision between 270 and 7mm08

    Got me a 6.5x55 Howa barrelled action (blued) a few months back, apparently it was the last one the distributers in NZ had - they were talking March before more stock arrives , cheap as chips though!

    Looks good that's rifle. Gotta love wood grain
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    That stock certainly looks the part. I think I would definitely go for a howa will try to see if I can get a bare rifle then I can go for the optics and rings I want and hopefully get a gunworks suppressor then I would look into going for a boyds stock later down the track but I would go for the Prairie hunter as it has a cheek rest.
