Thread: Howa Model 1500

I have a vanguard/howa 308 model and I think I bought it new when hunting and fishing first started marketing them. I changed the plastic stock to a Hogue full alloy chassis stock and bedded it, timney trigger shoots well now, solid action and quicker to load than say my 243 m700.
I think the howa with the Hogue stock is better than the tuppaware one that came with my vanguard. Does anyone know if the vanguard series 2 is going to be marketed here, they have been refined and have good reviews in the US.
