New Rifle Help

[farmer23]

I'm looking a buying a new rifle but I'm having trouble deciding. I am thinking about getting a Howa 1500 with the HS Precision stock or a Tikka CTR in the same caliber. I have owned a CTR in the past and really liked the fit and finish of it along with the drop box mag and excellent accuracy. I have also owned Weatherby Vanguards which are basically the same as the Howa less the upgraded stock. Again, great quality and super accuracy but without the DBM. I am hoping to hear from anyone who has owned Howa's and what your opinion is on these rifle's. Cost is relatively equal on both so that's not really a deciding factor. What would you buy and why?

Howa.
Its enuf for Randy Newberg and look at the boneyard in his garage.
Im a fan of HS Precision stocks thou.

My 2 cents!

Enjoy whatever you get.

I have a couple Weatherby Vanguards and like them as do most of the other people I know that have them, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Howa.

I have owned Howa, Vanguard, S&W1500 made by Howa, and several Tikkas, including a CTR. All were good rifles, the Tikka has the best trigger, and my Tikka rifles were slightly more accurate. You can't go wrong with either , but I would go Tikka myself, basically for the trigger.

Out of curiosity what caliber are you looking for? Just wondering.
