Every day someone comes along and asks what rifle brand/calibre/etc should they start off with, and it seems the advice always seems to be "Go with Howa in .308".
Having fondled them a bit in various shops, and having spent a lot of time reading up about the topic, this seems like sensible advice (however, I have never shot one).
From what I have read, most owners are generally happy with their rifles, with only minor issues (iirc the good Ds had some issues with a moulded stock touching the barrel and causing inconsistent groups).

With this in mind, I would like to find out which Howa rifle/configuration you have.
Polls are a bit difficult with all of the possible variations, so I set up the template below.
If there is anything else you would like to add, just add it to the Comments field.

I'll try and combine all of the results in some sort of graph/set of graphs and show it here.
