New Howa 1500 not repeating accuracy

[Jackal1966]

I bought a nice savage with a heavy barrel. It was half the price of my Son's rifle.
Out of the box,it will keep up with his.
He's starting to agree with this old man on some things .

Thats a shame. I have had a couple Howa and with a little tinkering they were good shooters.
i might have missed the caliber, what caliber is it .

[Jackal1966]

It's a .308. We had a local company send it back for us, and they said that's why they didn't carry Howa. Because of the warranty work and customer service.
The only local place that carries them is Academy Sports.

Never buy a howa/Niko Sterling combo. Many think Howa is a better build than a Remington.

I've heard since this purchase that most buy just the Howa rifle, and get their own preferred scope .
I haven't seen anyone that is very proud of these scopes.

I’ve read several articles saying the Howa is the Remington 700 done correctly. I will say this is a very good deal. Comes in a nice Chassis, 3-10rd mags & a $300 scope… all for under $1350. That’s not bad for someone getting into just shooting for fun.

It shoots really good now.
It's just a shame the way it performed out of the box, and they took this long to make it right.
But, anymore that tends to be the customer service of many places.
He'll keep this rifle forever unless something happens to it.
