Anyone start with a Howa Barreled Action....

[viking499]

Any piece together a rifle starting with a Howa Barreled action? What kind of accuracy do/did you get with the Howa? I know that they are the same as the Weatherby Vanguards. My FFL said he can get the Howas for a little over 3 bills otd. Then add your own stock. Should be able to complete one easily for under 400.

Or would it be better to pick up a Stevens 200 and do a stock swap?

Haven't done it but took a very close look and didn't see any reason not to. Check out:
