I know that comparisons can be misleading and at times contentious, but I was curious about a comparison between these two rifles. Essentially, both are bolt guns with 20 inch heavy barrels and Hogue stocks. I believe the Howa has a hammer-forged barrel, though. Pricing is also similar.
Regarding overall quality and durability/reliability, is it a wash or does one have the edge over the other?
