Ruger or Howa Bolt Gun?

[WVB4]

Thanks for all your first hand experience with all the different bolt Grendels. I’m leaning heavily toward the Howa mainly because of the Ruger’s mag issues. I don’t really like the looks of the Howa’s magazine and plastic bottom metal, but I can upgrade to the Jefferson Outdoors solution later on.

I’m tempted to just pump the brakes and see how the gen 2 Ruger’s perform though. My only concern with those are the short barrels. My AR has an 18” bbl so I’m looking to go longer with the bolt gun for added mv and the accompanying performance upgrade. It’s also too bad they stopped making the CZ 527 cause that’s a sexy lookin beast.
