Just wondering what everyones experiences with these rifles are like. I see that they sell just the barreled actions. The action seems decent enough and the trigger seems decent for the money. I was thinking about buying one to tinker with I see that high tech specialties makes lightweight stocks for them.

Anyone have any opinions on them?

Thanks

I own 2 a 223 and a 22-250. Gun is a little heavy but it shoots straight and that's all I ask for it to do. Trigger is decent.

I don't own one but have sold a few and everyone is happy with the accuracy. A friend of mine had a Remington I don't remember the model but it had the triangular type barrel and he couldn't get any groups from it. He traded it for a Howa and is extremely happy now.

Good rifle for the money, bought a 22-250 a few years ago just for a pickup gun and haven't had any issues. Even left the scope on it that came with it and still shoots straight even after being bounced around a few times.

I used to have one in .223. Bought the snow king package with the nikko sterling scope on it. wasn't a bad gun, just a little too heavy for my liking

I've owned a dozen of them from 223 up through 300Win. They were all very accurate and dependable. As has been stated above, the only knock anyone could have against them is weight.
