    Calibre: .308

    Barrel Length: 20" with Warrior Ultimate Shorty silencer

    Barrel Profile: Heavy

    Stock Make: KRG Bravo

    Stock Material: Synthetic

    Scope Brand: Vortex

    Scope Model: Viper PST Gen2 5-25x50 FFP

    Primary Application: Target shooting (still plenty to learn) and occasional hunting

    Best Accuracy Achieved: 0.32moa 5 shot group @ 100m and 0.68moa 4 shot group @ 200m

    Are you happy with your Howa: Yes, very much.

    Comments: Awesome value for money rifles. Mine is still far more accurate than what I am at present. Current setup not the lightest to carry around in the bush all day, but still doable. Patiently waiting for the arrival of the Howa 6mm Creedmoor rifles.

    Hi Francois
    Thanks for the link
    I have downloaded the catalogue previously
    I must have "vintage" eyes as I cannot find a section for ONLY barrelled actions ( receivers )
    There are entries for all the "RIFLES"

    The older catalogues did have a separate entry for only barrelled actions

    Barrelled actions were farmed off to Brownells -- that company seems to have a very poor listing / description of what is available ?

    Maybe I am not looking in the correct places ?

    I just double checked, and Lo! and behold! You are 100% correct!!! I read, and saw, as you stated... no barrelled actions listed...

    Perhaps it is worth it to contact Humansdorp Co-op... this is what they list...

    Slightly off topic, but did not want to start a new thread.

    What scopes base and scope rings have you fitted to your Howa Short Action? There's so many available that its becoming confusing.

    I also read mixed opinions about Rem700 bases working on Howa short action rifles, any clarification on this?

    Yeah, Remington 700 pattern ring bases will work on the Howa.

    For my 6.5 CM, I use ARMS 20 MOA base, and ARMS Competition 30mm rings.

    Your setup will depend on your needs, for hunting mount as low as possible, for target you'll obviously go with some kind of MOA rail.
