HOWA 1500

[stinkitup]

Who knows, Wild dog varmint stock, stainless barreled action, rifle basix trigger... there would be $1400 odd... another $850 could have a custom barrel screwed on, then your only at or below the new factory rifle prices of remington VSSF's and Sako 85's, even the Savage LRPV's.

Could be good value in the long run!!

Cheers

Unless you pick up a LRPV unfired Cheep Sell the standard barrel to your brother and screw on a match barrel

Having Keith Hills screw a 26" ultra match straight contour heavy barrel onto my howa short action. Sold the hogue stock and will do the same with the 223 SS heavy barrel, have a bell and carslon medalist tactical stock, fitted with cdi mag system 10 shot AI mag (nearly have it working warne pict rail, burris tactical mounts and a Sightron SIII 8-32x56 LRMD to sit on top........just waiting for it to come back to bolt everything on and if it dosent shoot im giving up lol chambered in 204 of course!

TOTAL: $2895.00

Should look something like this plus the detachable mag system in theory

[Brad Y]

Yep should look like that except it wont be a barnard action Who knows maybe keith will do you a swap on that too? Does he have any other heavy 20 cal barrels or did yours get specially ordered?

[dave]

well yes the action is different the idea was to show more what a stainless heavy barrel in the B & C stock would look like as i couldnt find anything else similair, the 20cal was special order im not sure because it was the size of the hole or the size the steel but if your lucky you may get something of the shelf...
