| I am looking at purchasing the Howa 1500 in 308 flavor. My only real hesitation is the stock. Howa owners, to you feel any flex at the front of the stock using bipod or bags? If so, does it effect your accuracy? Thanks in advance. |

I've got a 1500 and it shoots great. I put a Harris bipod on it and there is no flexing.
Beware, if it comes with a Nikko Sterling optic be prepared to replace it if you're planning on going out past 400 meters with it. I've got a new optic on its way from optics planet |

I dont have a howa 1500 but i do have a weatherby vanguard wich is the same thing with very few differences. The stock on the weatherby is really nice and sturdy. It was ment to touch the barrel up front to help with hermonics. Ether one is a really good choice It's a .30-06 hunting rifle. Carried more than shot and accurate enough for deer and elk. |
| I am also wanting to pick up a 1500 in .308 , I will be buying the barreled action and finding a stock for it. brownells and pacific tool and gauge have been the only places so far where I have found the barreled actions. Anyone know a decent retailer where i could pick up the action I'm wanting? Thanks |

I have the HCR, so no flex since it's an aluminum chassis system. https://www.legacysports.com/wp-content/uploads/howa_hcr_multicam-1024x350.png |
