I have owned many howas and have never faulted the Hogue over moulded stock with the alloy pillars - for $100 they are an ideal stock for the $$ and for a hunting rifle they are best value out there in a hunting stock.
I recently bought a Weatherby Vanguard S2 in 243 win with the weatherby synthetic stock - which doesnt let the barrel free-float at all. Researching this on the net, especially on the Weatherby nation website, opinions are varied as to weather or not the barrel on the Vanguard S2 should be left as is (non free floated) or free-floated. Lots of folk say leave it as is if it shoots .......and others say the opposite.
I personally have all my rifles barrels free-floating and have never had an issue. With the Weatherby Vanguard S2 i decided to source a hogue replacement stock and fit that to the rifle - and set the original stock aside. I know that lots of folk say there is too much flex in the hogue fore end and this could be due to folks using the stock for prone shooting with a bipod - and possibly the fore-end flexing and touching the barrel. However, for a general hunting rifle the hogue stock is as good as you ever need.
