HPK's bdl arrived yesterday. Perfect. Spent a while feeding dummy's and feed/function was really, really good. The latch is excellent. Major change to the rifle when carried "in hand".
I almost ordered two. Wish I had.

Howa, please do something besides the carbon and kryptec or whatever. I've been a fan for a lot of years. You are 95% there.

Just checked the tracking on my floorplate, previously due here today. Somehow it found its way to Catano, PR; that’s right, fugging Puerto Rico, not exactly on a beeline to WV from California.
This is a new personal “Best” for the USPS and me. Whoo Hoo!
What fresh Hell is this?

This seems like a good buy if it is a 22" tapered barrel. https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/977754602

I find it “amazing” that the say they have 63 available. Maybe their jobber has 63, but even that sounds improbable.
Someone should buy one and satisfy my curiosity!

The combination is all over if you Google the UPC. I’m thinking it’s a heavy barrel from the pics and 10.5 lb shipping weight.

Someone should buy one and satisfy my curiosity! Something is not right with that ad. Howa combos use Nikko Sterling scopes, not Vortex. This is either a used "one off" or something smells. Not 63 of these.

So the 22" is sporter weight? Do you know if the 20" is a sporter weight? N.M. Found the answer.

So any of you guys have a 6ARC and a 6 x 45 or 6X223?
Any real world differences? 223 brass is certainly much more available....
