The standard Howa rifle in the Hogue stock is just too heavy and clunky feeling. I cannot understand why they keep using that POS stock. Otherwise, Howa makes a good rifle.
Agreed. The current injection molded Vanguard stock is far better. The HACT trigger is a winner too. A guy could do far worse than an SS Howa/Vanguard. Aftermarket support aside, I’d as soon have one as a 700 in some applications.
