I have the howa 20" lightweight and 22". The lightweight is around 2503 fps last chrony session. It's currently in a milled out mdt chassis (7.0 oz lighter than original) running mft battlelink minimalist butt stock and a 13 oz leupold in talley's, it's about 6 lb 10.5 oz from recollection as it sits. The kids shoot it, it's a tack driver but i hate the magazine and as soon as kids out grow needs for adjustable stock i'll probably sell it. It's been a killer for sure but mentally i'm done with howa. Have to say my fav might be the little RAR but i'm more of a blue collar guy so it's no wonder i lean slightly to it over the flashier CZ in that amazing carbon barrel.
