I have a Howa 1500 chambered for 30-06. I purchased the rifle about 5 years ago.My son purchased a Remington 700 the same year both were new guns.My Howa has always outperformed my sons Remington.I can shoot a box of ammo off sand bags and have all twenty in a 4 inch circle with a hot barrel. If I shoot 3 shots slow fire with a cool barrel I can put them all in a 1.5 inch circle at 100 Yds.I see no reason that a .308 should not do as well.One of my hunting friends Has 3 Howa rifles and loves them all.
