Maybe just buy a Timney trigger? It is a first class action, a near enough barrel and somewhat downhill from there. Can I suggest it is a $800 rifle due to a shit trigger and a dubious stock and if you replace these you have something genuinely good. You could make the same changes on another brand of $800 rifle and I would say it would be a complete waste of time and money, but a Howa really is a Japanese Sako.
Not by a rifle sorry ;) :PQuote:

Why spend on a stock you never wanted so you can save by avoiding it in first place
as long as its not the houge the standard stock will do me long enough to work out if I like the rifleQuote:

Im unsure if the spring was chopped or replaced but it was superb
Forgot to say that. What else can you buy as a barreled action? You don't see wood stocked Howas often, do they still make them?Quote:

As per Apollo's comment, I have added a timney trigger and a Stug stock. With a suppressor it's now pretty much (for me) a perfect rifle.
Still, even if you keep a Howa stock standard, it's the pick of the budget rifles in my view.
Walnut stocks are available in Australia I believe they are a Boyds.Quote:

Interesting. In the photos it looks like the finishing is a bit average...but maybe that's not the finished product?Quote:

That looks awesome. Just trying to figure out the dollars on this...so it's $us330...assuming I can get a mule to bring it over to NZ...what are my extra costs going to be?
Customs have a calculator for thatQuote:
