Looks like sweet set up. I shoot a stock Tikka T3X Superlite 6.5 CM, and want to start tweaking the rifle here and there and get into the long range stuff. I threaded the barrel last year and shooting suppressed makes it even more comfortable to shoot. I also have access to shoot as far as I want, which makes it even more enticing.

Depends. Is weight a factor?

Absolutely. Have the night force titaniums w/ ATACR and badger ordinance w/ Leupold VX-6HD. Went with the Zeiss Ultra light precision rings to mount the LRP S5. Hope to get it mounted up this week.

With the Howa action does it feel similar to Weatherby?


It is the same as a Vanguard but nowhere close to the Mk V. The Howa/Vanguard action is very much like an old school Rem 700, fairly smooth a 90 degree throw while the Mk V has a 60 degree throw.
