Where are Howa's made? Other than the legacy website where else can we find info on them??
The whole problem with buying guns is that you don't get to "test" them. Buy it and it might not shoot very well at all. Gun A from gunmaker X might shoot tacks, but identical gun B might be lucky to have 3moa. Notmuch you can do about it other than putting more money into it, or trying to pawn it off on someone else.
At least with bows you can ususally shoot some arrows through them before plopping down your wad of cash.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Tikka and Weatherby have guarantees on accuracy, maybe we should purchase those rifles until other companies have the same policy???
