Got the chance to go camping this weekend. Took the Wife's Howa and broke it in with 20 rounds of wolf and about 50 rounds of Hornady American Gunner. The Hornady shot MOA out of this rifle.
The factory stock was slimmed and cut down at the forend. The LOP was reduced by an inch and a pachmayr recoil pad was fitted. The mag was also cut down to fit flush with the magwell. Finally the stock was painted OD green with black webbing and a few coats of matte clear was applied. The rifle is topped off with a Leupold vx-2 2-7x33 CDS scope in Talley LW rings.
The rifle without the bipod weighs in at 6lbs 4oz. It should make for a fine rifle for my wife this coming deer season. I am working up some loads using the 100gr TTSX.
