Thread: Howa 1500 torque settings.

@Howa270 If it is a new gun then it would pay to check the scope mounts screws etc as well as these can work loose if they were not done properly to start with. A gunsmith wont make that mistake, but a lot of the counter jockeys that fit these up are not gunsmiths .....You dont have to be a smith to do it properly, and it is not difficult to learn. I think you are on the right track. Welcome to the "club"....

Some more questions.
- How many shots did you fire at 200 to find out its low?
- Was the rest the same for both?
- What group size do you get at 200 ?
- How much shooting have you done? How much practise have you had?

This may seem silly, but if you are new to shooting and you are capable of a 6 inch group at 200m then you are doing pretty well. If you first couple shots were about right and your next is 6" low, that doe not mean it has to be the rifle. It can be, but it could also be the shooter. Or a change in technique. Hopefully just the screws.....
