20" .308, trued reciever, heavy barrel, and 2 stage trigger for $586!

Like camo on the combo but that scope is the worst.

Ahhh the brochuer says heavy barrel and the web site says lite barrel. Sent a email asking for clarification.

Seems like the barrel is only two inches shorter than the barrel on my Howa 6.5 Swede.

I guess the standard Howa's come with a 22" barel.

How does you 6.5x55 shoot?

They sell a mag adapter kit with a 10rnd mag for $98

Additional mags $47

I'd stay away from their packages

Biggest mistake on hunting rifles is going cheap on your glass. Howa have a good reputation. A bit heavy for my taste, but known to be accurate and a good value.

I believe the ranchland is a hunting rifle. and website says a #1 contour. I have a heavy barrel model and its a #6 contour.

all of their rifles are off the M1500 action if I am not mistaken. great action, should be ok.

I don't know as I just got the rifle back from a glass bed job. I still need to buy mounts and a scope. Hopefully next month.

I dont have the ranchland but i can vouch for the quality and accuracy of Howa rifles. I would buy one in a heartbeat but i cant find anyone to get me one for a reasonable price in the sacramento area

If you didn't know they are the exact same as the Weatherby Vanguard, Howa builds them for Weatherby.

I have had a couple Howas and 2 Vanguards. Awesome rifles. They all were great shooters, lots of parts and stuff out there for them. Howa offers a ton of different combos of stock and barrel choice.

Can't go wrong with a Howa!

Here is a terrible cell phone pic of my rifle. While the stock appears to be beautiful, it was a royal pain in the ***. I knew the gun smith was going to have a difficult time with it, but it came out nice and solid and passed the dollar bill test. So I know the barrel floats. The stock was off more than I like and he had to shave the side a little more than I wanted to. Most will never see it, but I do have a OCD side.....

The specs for EVERY single model show 20" #1 contour.
A #1 contour is a very lightweight sporter barrel.

Legacysports confims Ranchland is a light barrel.

However they now have a similar rifle but with a heavy barrel
