bwaites: thank you for all your efforts so far and the good reporting. When this all comes together and you end up with a production rifle for final evaluation this will take a lot of unknowns out of the projects we usually expect when opening the box on a new factory firearm. Your efforts and dedication are appreciated. I for one will not be buying one with the intent of swapping barrels or stocks and based on my experience with Howa and hand loading I anticipate it will be possible to be get into the half MOA range with minimal tweaking of the rifle using proven 6.5 Grendel loads from the forum that have been accurate across a wide range of member's rifles. Hopefully
