I don't hunt hogs here in Montana but i do hunt deer, and I like to hunt them with my CZ Grendel American. I don't have any problems whatsoever in that venue. It shoulders well. shoots extremely well with any bullet weight between 85 and 125 grains. I also have the Varmint model. Superb accuracy but a little long with a can on the end.
I have the Ruger American as well. It is accurate and I can kick it around without feeling guilty.
The local Ranch supply store has Howas. I looked hard at the 20" Howa as a short gun. The clerk reported a few complaints they had received regarding feeding. I held back and revisited this forums topics about Howas. Feeding issues. Rebarreling. Accuracy issues. I may yet buy a 20 inch Howa to see for myself but I won't dump a huge amount of money into it if it doesn't shoot; I pay high dollar for the CZs but they shoot well right off the rack. I don't need a cheap rifle money pit.
I took my American out last evening. Sierra Pro Hunter 120's over a stiff charge of SW Match Rifle shot half inch. (10 shot average of 2688 fps) The Sierra 85 grain HP over H335 shot a half inch. I like Howas actions but as the old saying goes, "The only interesting rifle is and accurate one." I think I have that criteria covered. ~Riuma
