Remington 700SPS/783 vs Howa 1500

Everyone will recognise the old polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride...

Ah... Yeah...

Hey Chronos, just wondering what is available at this price point in a walnut stock? I'm in a similar position and was looking at the R 700, albeit in .223. I've was put off by the 1:12 twist, which all the cheaper 223s seem to have

I believe the Howa comes in a 1 in 9 twist these days.

Don't touch a Remington, you'll more than likely regret it, their quality control is s**t, it really is a lucky dip if you get one that works as it should or a lemon than will see you back and forth to the gunshop - just not worth the risk in my opinion. Another one that's worth looking at is the Ruger American, they seem to shoot alright for the $$.

Yeah I know Remingtons if you find a good one can shoot but is it worth the risk trying to find said Remington? Not to me it ain't!

X2 less money for less disappointment
