My Howa build. Pros Cons Success

[Kurtis]

I tried both the Oregunsmithing and Jefferson hinged floor plate bottom metal. I prefer the Jefferson due to the location of the floor plate release. The quality of the Oregunsmithing was very good, however the release is located at the front of the trigger guard. The first time I took the rifle hunting, I threw it over my shoulder and the release hit my daypack causing it to open and dump my cartridges on the ground. Can’t have that in a rough and tumble hunting rifle.

The Jefferson has been great. Smooth operation with no feeding issues.
