Howa 308 Ranchland opinions
« on: July 13, 2011, 06:41:57 AM »
I just bought a Howa Ranchland in .308.  My first trip into the desert was less than thrilling.  It was very windy which made it hard to hold on target.  I shot a box of cheap Rem. Green Box FMJ's to season the barrel and to get on paper. 
While I was on paper, I was all over it.  I shot a half a box of pretty good ammo which printed a 2" group +/- at 100 yards.  I think a little of the problem was me not knowing what to expect recoil wise out of a 20" barrel.  I think both the rifle and I got better over time. 
 
Here is the question.  Does anyone out there have one of these and what kind of accuracy are you getting and with what bullet? 
 
Mine has a very crisp trigger, very smooth action and I love the Hogue stock.
