Have a Gunsmith friend that has no issues working with Howa actions. Uses CNC equipment so once he has the programming for one can duplicate it easy. He keeps some long barrels without taper in stock and will turn them to what ever contour you want and put together a fine rifle.
His website could use a little work but the man knows what he is doing on rifles. When I was looking for a Smith to do a Grendel conversion on a CZ 527, he was the only one I found in Texas that would do the work, most complained about metric threads and about how difficult Howa barrels are to remove, he just said sure no problem.
