Default RE: Howa rifles

A very true statement.Howa makes a great product for the money but many people are simply not aware of this due to weak marketing.
Kinda reminds me of Marlin and their MR7 bot action rifle of a few years ago(96-99). Anyone who's owned one knows I'm speaking the truth when I say that Marlin made one of the finest bolt guns ever with the MR7, but marketing killed them. Some say it was due to Marlin copying the very best features from Browning, Remington, Winchester and Ruger and putting them into one rifle that had other gun makers press them to discontinue the rifle, but you see that quite often in the gun industry. I think Marlin just failed to market the rifle properly. If anyone ever see's one in .280 rem let me know I'd like to buy one.
