I was just checking the Rifles section on the 204 forum site. To my surprise, I did not see a listing for the Howa's there. I know there are a lot of guys out there, including myself that are shooting the Howa rifles in 204R. If I were to buy a new rifle, in any caliber, the Howa rifles would be at the top of MY list of rifles to choose from.
Just my thoughts!

Re: Just wondering
I have four of the Howa's, right now. Would buy another and have been thinking of one with the 24 inch #6 barrel, for a heavier barrel than the one 204R with the #2. Especially with the new trigger, they shot very well.. Bill K

Re: Just wondering
I like my heavy barrel Howa. I like that you can buy the barreled action and get the stock you want. Wish more brands would offer that option.

Re: Just wondering
I wish my dealers around here would order the barreled actions. I asked my main local gun shop and they said they can't. They can't even sell stripped lowers so I don't know. Ill have to investigate at another shop. After contacting legacy sports they informed me ALL retailers can order them? Maybe it's a company policy?Bodei wrote:I like my heavy barrel Howa.
