Howa M1500 Long Range 6mm Creedmoor 24" Hogue Stock HGD72203XXX

This is one fine gun. Everything you could ask for in a long range rifle without the high dollar signs. Bolt very smooth and trigger very crisp. Cant wait to take it out to 500 yds. I own several Howas and they have never failed me. The scope is not bad either but for really long range shooting you might want to invest in another base, rings and scope. Scope did function as it was supposed.. Hogue has always made great stocks. Probably will float the barrel a little later on. Cant go wrong with this combo.

The Howa 6mm Creedmoor, with 24" heavy barrel, is unbelievable. Out of the box, I bore sighted, and shot 10 rounds, cleaning in between. Shot a decent, but not great group at 100 yds with Hornady Black. Cleaned barrel, and switched to Hornady 108 ELD match. Backed up to 200 yds, first group at 200 was 1.2", second group was 0.86". I will take half moa average anyday, especially after only 20 rounds, and with Hogue stock. Cycled perfectly, and action is very smooth. My trigger pull came at 2.3 lbs.
