thanks mate was shot with a harris bipod and useless caldwell rear bag aswell

I'm guessing it's a 223, you will be happy with the performance of the sierra hpbt 69 grainers, they wack very hard, well done

[bigfellascott]

That sort of performance is quite normal for Howas going by my experiences of owning for over 30yrs, they certainly can shoot well for the price.

It's a 100m going by the info on the bottom of the pic.

very happy with my howa 223 varmint barrel, I can regularly knock 1" spots off trees @300m with even crap like PPU soft points. bedded into a boyds thumbhole varmint stock however

Enjoy,
I have two Howa rifle now.
I started with a 223 varmint. It shoots 5 shots into one large hole.
I then bought a 308 varmint and it's just as accurate.
Looking at getting another. 6.5 Creedmoor or a 6.5 Grendel, Cannot make my mind up..!

[Oldbloke]

My Marlin does that at about 90meters. Achieving those groups at 15meters is nothing to brag about bigfellascott.

[nightforcenxs]

sorry for the late reply yes its .223 and it was 100m next time i go to the range will be 200m and see what happens at 300m but i really do need a better stock its flopping around the place and i have to use the free recoil technique others the stock moves and touches the barrel

[Rikta]

my remington was like that in its synthetic stock, chucked a boyds laminate stock on and no more issue

[Wm.Traynor]

the stock moves and touches the barrel

Open up the barrel channel? Might be cheaper because you might have to bed the new stock .
