Ahh the 399 elusive barreled action... only one shop sells them. Then you gotta add their excessive shipping costs, then a logical shop PTA and that atleast in vic is usually around the $100 mark for guns from that interstate shop. Then you are up for another 400-800 for a decent stock.

With previous help from MM, this howa 300wm is now far exceeding my expectations. There was a 5c piece challenge on this day at 105m and this rifle and a sauer 30/06 was the only rifles out of 9 on the day, that managed to take the 5’s out at Will...
Ps. It’s been 4 or 5 months, things have settled, so I’m back lol. Get rooted Bill.

Can you ask your gunsmith or SSAA Club Armourer to do the transfer for you? Mine does it for free.
How much did the QLD charge for shipping that was excessive. They have to use an approved courier and shipping is determined by the courier company.

As many here have already said Howa are the best value for money on the market bar none. In terms of quality, design and function, the gap between a Howa and say a Tikka/Sako is very small. But the gap in the price tag doesn’t reflect what you actually get.
Howa all the way!!!
