HOWA 308

marxsman · August 2001

I am looking at puchasing a HOWA 308 with the heavy target barrel. I am told that this gun is very accurate, producing groups that will compete favorably with the more expensive sniper rifles. What price might be expected for a new HOWA 308 with the heavy barrel? Comments from anyone who has actually fired one of these rifles would be appreciated.[This message has been edited by marxsman (edited 08-30-2001).]

Actually you may have some trouble finding one. The most recent importer folded, and I have not seen indications that anyone is currently importing the 1500. I paid a bit under $300 for a .308 with standard barrel last year. Good luck!

Hey marxman, the current importer for the Howa 1500 is Legacy Sorts International, 10 Prince St. Alexandria, VA according to Harris Publications Sportsman's Gun Annual. Good Hunting!

RSR has 6 HOWA HVY Barrel 308's in stock. Stainless with Synthetic stock. They are out of the blue finish. Retail is $560, dealer is $357. For the money you can't beat the Howas. Dave@cwf

I bought a barreled action last year, and I assume they are available. Ask your local dealer or contact the importer above to be sure. [This message has been edited by He Dog (edited 09-11-2001).]
