Just wondering if anyone else has heard of or owns one of these guns. If so, how do you like it?

Thanks for the reply. I feel exactly the same way. I can attest to their "out of the box" accuracy. Having taken several yotes past 200 as well as prairie dogs at 300, my Howa chambered in .223 Rem does a dandy job of sending vermin to the afterlife.

i have one in .308 and love it.
