Would someone please post a link to a good reference page for Howa rifles? I'd like to visit their home page as well as see a full product catalog from them.
Thanks and good hunting!

RE: Howa rifles (link)?
Thanks Scott. Do they make a stainless .300 WSM? I can't see it on their site. Does anyone know? Does anyone have one? Likes? Dislikes? I currently have a 1500 Smith & Wesson, built by Howa in 1984 and I really like it. Shoots very well but trigger needs work. Seems they make a quality rifle for less than most other manufacturers.

Just a word of caution.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Product Upgrade Registration
Howa Machinery, Ltd. of Japan, is performing a safety upgrade on all Model 1500, 1550 and 1700LS series rifles manufactured between 1970 and 1993. The affected rifles bear serial numbers from one of the following series on the receiver: PN00010 through PN87159, LS00001 through LS05150, M000001 through M020422, LS10001 through LS10309, B000001 through B028450. The safety upgrade will replace the bolt sleeve to prevent misassembly of the bolt, which might occur on the affected rifles. Such misassembly might result in a hazardous condition in which the rifle can be accidentally discharged without the bolt being fully engaged, causing severe injury. These rifles were distributed by Smith & WessonÒ, O.F. Mossberg & Sons and InterarmsÒ. These rifles may bear the distributor trademark.

RE: Howa rifles (link)?
I doubt if they have the .300WSM...I have one in .300 Win Mag and think it's great. I can shoot great groups with it and have absolutely no complaints with the gun what-so-ever. I've convinces all my brothers (5) to buy one as well in everything from .270 to .308 and .30-06 and they have all performed outstanding!

Thanks Steel, already have my envelope to mail back the bolt. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks clattin! I know they are good guns. I just need to find a place that sells them but if I do I think I want the .300 WSM or UM... I might have to wait a year or two.
