Thread: Mounts for Howa

I recently bought a second hand Howa with a 22" barrel in .270 win and a houge stock. It will be used as it is for a few years, and then perhaps used a project (thinking .280AI) or maybe just left as is.

It came with a cheap set of alloy bases and rings, and I wouldn't trust them. I am looking for recommendations for a new set of mounts. My problem is that I have used Sako's and Rugers all my life and of cause used the propriety mounts that come with those brands and hence I don't know much about standard bases and rings.

I look at a EWG 0 moa rail, which would be good as it gives plenty mounting of options, but expensive and heavy(?), and would have to buy rings on top of that again. Gunworks are selling Talley one piece bases with lower ring incorporated, these appeal as would strong and light but are aluminum.

Opinions on these and what other options should I consider? Oh just intending to shoot out to 350-400 max.
