Howa barreled actions

[dave]

Hey all,

Are any shops still selling these rifles minus the stocks. Looking for a varmint, fluted blued or stainless in .243?

Cheers
Dave

We do mate!

Be prepared for the price! Nearly fell over when I got a quote on a magnum action.

Do they have the same thread as a Remington?

[dave]

Not cheap these days???

[kickinback]

Dave, I was quoted over $700.

[dave]

hmmmmm yeah should have bought a few 12-18 months ago bugger it!!!

[kickinback]

Yep. That's what I thought.

Barrel thread?

No, the Remington 700 and the Howa actions do not share the same action thread.

The Howa is 26mmx1.5mm metric.

The Remington 700 is 1.0625in x 16TPI. That is 26.98mm x 1.5875mm. A careful machinist could re-cut the Remington to fit the Howa by starting in the middle and working outwards to either side.

Thanks Adam I just searched after and found a few that had done it successfully.

G"day,
Do Howa do a Flutted heavy barrel.???
Usually a barrelled action in a varmint profile is around $650 blued and &750 SS.

Hi dave handles one of these in 243 down in vi last week. Was def 243 howa fluted with stock though. Was I'm guessing blued as it was black unless it was treated. Shop is at keilor east will find its name if you want.

I don't recall the price as was just playing with howas and remington actions.
