I also say, if you don’t like the 300 blackout, don’t buy one. However I also say, we as shooter’s must stick together and not criticize each other. That is just what the anti-gun/hunters want. Divide and conquer remember. We each have our choice’s and each should let the other enjoy his.

I bought one in 222. the thing is very accurate, I couldn,t be happier with this gun. The quality is typical Howa.

I have a Howa, mini-action. With full elevation adjustment on the scope (Bushnell Elite) rounds land 1-2 feet low at 100 yards. Sent it back and Legacy Sports determined the receivers are not milled to the same specs as their other 1500 rifles. You need a 30mm scope at or near max elevation adjustment or a 30 MOA base for these rifles.

Editor: Sorry to hear of your experience. We have not heard of this issue before and the Mini Action rifle we tested was completely fine. Here’s a Safari Club Int’l video review of a 6.5 Grendel Mini-action. As you can see from the target (1:20 time mark), there is no issue with elevation whatsoever: https://youtu.be/fZWFHl8Zf-A

People hating on .300AAC must not have suppressed SBRs like it was designed for. I will agree that it makes no sense at all in a bolt gun – unless shooting suppressed *and* subsonic.

Will it be available in stainless?

Its no joke in a suppressed bolt action. Nor is it a joke in use as the model 7 I build for my elderly grandfather as a very light weight low recoil deer rifle. Don’t like it, don’t buy it, but statements like those show a profound amount of ignorance. I definitely plan to keep this rifle in mind for Blackout projects and varmint rifles. It would be great if they would make this available as a action only.

I hope they’ll consider offering it with a hinged floorplate in the future. Howa’s quality is fantastic. it is just that older hunters like myself would prefer to avoid a DBM if the floorplate option were available.

That ‘cartridge’ is a joke, especially if someone considers building a bolt gun for it.
