They shoot great, but the mag is to be desired sir.. If slinging majority of the time there are no issues. If you're a deep woods/thick cover hunter like I, they're a pain in the ass from experience.


Certain model numbers come with both the detachable mag and a standard floorplate in the box too.

Howa with floorplate



I would highly recommend a standard floor plate then sir, if one isn't stuck on the m700. Both are great rifles though.
