I'm mebbe looking for a .223 bolt gun. Budget is an issue. Local store has a Howa for $350? Can't remember exactly. Anyway, how good are Howa rifles? I'm not familiar with 'em. Bonus points for replies from actual Howa owners.
[Edited to add this will be a walk-around varmit gun. Weight is also an issue--no 28" heavy bull barrels. This Howa is a sporter.]
