They did a run of 6.5x55 that for some reason tended not to shoot up to Howa's reputation for accuracy.
I know, I had 2 of them. First one would do no better than 3-4 inch groups at a 100 yds. Sent it back and they sent me another one. That shot a little better, but was not up to my standards. On the other hand, I have a 204 in the Lightning, and had a Vanguard 223 that will shot extremely good.
