I don't personally see the need for a 20 rounder on a bolt gun, howa's 10 rounder is more than enough, but if that floats your boat them why not.

Both I shot were plenty accurate with the howa having the edge.

Personally I would have the howa. The ruger was just a bit to rough round the edges

20 round mags are out,I've got a mini 30 and I'd have to go for E cat for it. Was the Howa fussy on ammo?
