    @Stump is that the factory HOWA heavy barrel? I've got the carbon barrel and struggling to get the groups consistently under 1inch...

    I had the same issue with mine on the 123 Lapuas. Swapped over to 142SMKs and its SWEET.

    AR2209/4350 works great.

    Had the opertunity this past weekend to train with some good shooters and the Howa delivered big time.

    0.5mm jump to the lands works on mine.
