Re: Range report on custom .308 howa scout rifle
How did you find the action. I have been told by some people that the howa action is too tight to cycle quickly. Curious to know what your experience was

Re: Range report on custom .308 howa scout rifle
It's an awesome rifle to shoot and handle. Gives a nice BOOM when you pull the trigger. Accuracy was great!! The action was nice and smooth from what I felt.
gertjie87, all in all it is definitely something I would consider doing. The "cutting stuff" mindset payed off with that rifle. The mag I used was a bit problematic like you say but she is a beaut, congrats.

Re: Range report on custom .308 howa scout rifle
I was checking that little rifle out all the time on Saturday... sweet looking thing!
Can't recall, did you have it threaded for a comp/suppressor when you had it cut?

Re: Range report on custom .308 howa scout rifle
I did yes have a supressor for it as wel as a brake. The supressor takes away the compactness and the brake makes it really really loud so I actually like it without any attachments
