Honestly, one of my favorite rifles. Just under the Savage 10FP in .308. The Howa M1500 Varminter has almost everything I want in a rifle but for much less than the Remington 700 PSS that I almost got. Dont know about all of them but mine was just as accurate out of the box as any other rifle I have shot/owned. One of my local Walmarts carries them for 389.00 (Howa M1500 Bl/SS .308 win 24" heavy barrel, 5+1 in chamber).
Like TScott said, for the money.....I'll buy another one or two..lol

Hunting is the one sport where, if you are playing right, the other team doesn't even know you're in the game.
