If howas we're equal category with tikkas, we would see a lot more of them around. And tikka would have to put their price down to compete or howa could easily put their price up if they were on par or better.
Howas shoot OK to good, tikkas tend to shoot good to extremely good.
A bit is to do with the quality of the barrels, a lot is to do with the stocks and the quality of the factory bedding.
Flimsy hogue stocks don't help the Howas for that matter. Same thing goes with tikkas action screws over torqued into their factory plastic stock and the stress it puts on the action. A good bedding into a wooden stock can improve things a lot for both brands.
