* I also put this on the newer Howa thread*

To whom does one send a Howa when it need repair/service/warranty work? I can't seem to find a web site with any info. Their Japanese site shows guns, but doesn't give any more info. about 'em.

To me, it's worth the extra $100 or so in peace of mind knowing that I could send the gun back to Weatherby if I had to, & I'd have few doubts about their willingness & ability to make things right.

Maybe I'm mistaken. Does Howa have a US base of ops?
