    Good to hear. I have read on the interwebs that Howa make the new 6.5's with a short throat - the older ones were meant to be really load picky cuz of a long arse throat. I reckon they are probably one of the best buys on the market, mine came stainless with a hard case, leupold bases a cheap shit scope and cheap shit rings (never hurts to have spares for a .22). 895 at Reloaders.
