Uhhhh, these have the Overmold stock? Not the hard ones like the 1500 Lightning?

That's what I've been told, but nothing has been confirmed.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

As a public service, Howa 1500 Rates of Twist from the 2015 catalog: I wonder why the Vanguard2s in 223 have 1-9" ROT barrels and the Howa 1500s have 1-12" ROT barrels?

Howas are my favorite push-feeds. Gotta wonder why they're cutting the stainless models though.
Gettum while they're hot, boys! (and girls) It appears that Legacy dropped stainless in favor of Cerakoted CM. www.legacysports.com

The "Police Model" Howas have always had 1-9" twists in .223. There was an Interarms dealer local to me at the time Interarms was going belly-up, and they sold a bunch at pretty good prices.
The Varmint Model I had had a 1-12" twist, and loved H-322 and 50gr. SPSX bullets, but would shoot 50VMs acceptably well, too. It would shoot into .3" without any heartache, and splatted prairie dogs for me quite well. I wore the pipe out on the thing.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

I'll get clarity on the twists. I also believe they may have the black plastic stock similar to the 1500 Lightning. This could bode well for weight and MtnBoomer.
My rep is traveling back from his meetings. He was in California when they extended the offer. I don't expect any final numbers until after the 4th.

Are the Hogues on these aluminum skeleton or pillars? I had a pillared model on an old pf model 70 and it was a good stock. I am thinking one in 308 with an aluminum skeleton for prone off a bipod at the 1k range and knocking around in the woods wouldn't suck. I was thinking a classic 70 ss in 308 but this might be as close as I need.

If you call Howa they'll give you the cut-off SN's for the 1-12's. They've been 9's for a while.
Good rule of thumb is if they have the three position and two-stage, it's probably a 1-9".
I had the cut-off numbers written down but I don't know WTF I did with them.

SAS, thanks for looking into the stocks. Otherwise WTB a plastique one. Also looking for any model Overmold stock at a truly sacrificial price to see what happens when ground into....

I know Phil Shoemaker has shaved down the Hogues before.
Might want to PM him.

Derrick, I will buy one of the 270's. My nephew is needing a "deer rifle". I've decided I'll buy him one of these.

Where do I look at these?
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
