First look at the Howa 6.5 Grendel, 22 inch # 2 contour.

Folks,


First impression was that rifle was light. Nice stock, Hogueish in how it feels but with some rigidity. Trigger was awsome!!!!. Fit/finish was excellent. Bolt throw was smooth, linear. Here are some pics. Spoke with Matt, he was great.

In no particular hurry, I would like to see photos of the # 1 #2 and #6 barrels next to each other. When someone gets around to it. If its not too much trouble

Matt thanks for the pic of the barrel contours.

The "Heavy" barrel version isn't really that heavy.

For a hunting rifle I would go with the standard barrel and cut it back to 20in with a good crowning job, just enough weight to be useful at any range, short enough to handle like a dream.

Yes ! Thanks.
