I looked at the Howa 1500's myself recently. There had a couple of minor drawbacks I thought.
The Hogue stock is reported to not be stiff enough to prevent it bending up to touch the barrel if you support it on a bipod or front rest.
The twist rate of the barrel is 1-12 which is on the slow side. It will limit you to bullet weights of 55 gr or less.
Neither one of these would prevent it from being an accurate rifle. It just wasn't what I was looking for at the time.
