JARD Trigger for Howa 1500
The Howa 1500 is a nice rifle, offering good performance for the price. We like the Howa 1500 Varminter in particular, which comes with a quality laminated stock and smooth-working, stainless action. One of the few issues with a factory Howa has been the heavy trigger pull weight. You can fix that with a drop-in trigger from JARD. The recently-introduced, all-steel JARD trigger adjusts for overtravel, sear engagement, and pull weight. The trigger includes a Rem-style lever safety. Internals are precision-machined and hardened. Priced at $132 (item 100-003-169) at Brownell’s, the JARD trigger for the Howa 1500 can be ordered in a variety of pull weights from 14 to 28 ounces. Along with the Howa 1500, the JARD trigger fits S&W 1500, and Weatherby Vanguard rifles.
Very interesting, especially since I have a 416 caliber wildcat based on the 300WSM case, built on a Weatherby Vanguard action; what you might call a little stumpy stopper! It’s being bedded at present, so no load data, yet!
has it got a 3 or 2 position safety? the vanguards have a 2 and the howas a 3.
I will have to get my hands on one and see if its as good as a tuned Howa trigger. they tune quite nicely down to 500g.
