Keep an eye out for Howa's 2021 new rifles. I don't know what it's going to be; but, I was corresponding with a guy at Howa with whom I've corresponded for years. I told him that so many people are disappointed in their decision to discontinue the Howa Alpine Mountain Rifle. His response? "Just wait til you see what we have coming in 2021. I think you'll like it". I didn't get more; but, that is from Howa.
