Thread: Shout out for Howa

Im in the market for a another Rifle and the choice is between the Howa and a Tikka T3x .
Im leaning towards the Tikka because of weight and aftermarket options , if it was purely a money factor that influenced the purchase then the Howa would win no question .
I must admit I’ve never actually shot a Howa but I have played with Tikka’s a little so that is also a contributing factor .
Claims of velocity from ammo manufacturers are very difficult to sift through because of different testing procedures, barrels and obviously barrel lenght .
Ive never worried about chasing the last few feet per second in factory ammo , consistency and group size has always been my go to .
Can I say great thread and real world findings are always more informative than advertising blurbs and fanboy accounts of brilliance.
