Does anyone have any experience with Howa rifles? A local shop has "as-new" .223 heavy-barrel for $350.00+tax. This includes mounts and rings but no scope. I know nothing about the Howa, other than it is made in Japan, by the same company that produces Weatherby. How does the accuracy compare to the Rem. 700? Academy Sporting Goods has the Rem. 700 ADL, standard-barrel for $ 389.00+tax. How do the two rifles compare? How is the parts-availability for Howa? Thanks for your input.
