I'm in the market for another hunting rifle, and feel the Howa design will fill this itch nicely.
I use a short-stocked rifle for deer hunting because six layers of clothing messes up the LOP and scope eye relief on a "summer rifle." Plus the shorter stocks often shift the balance to the rear, which also fits my style of hunting better (YMMV).
Can anyone point to first-hand knowledge of what differentiates the Howa youth model stock (includes stock spacers) compared to the Howa carbine (also includes spacers in some models, e.g. Similar model in the Weatherby X)?
If the stocks are identical except for the camo patterns, I'm going for the youth model.
