    Further info - if you really hate the trigger for some reason, Timney do a drop in replacement (Howa/Weatherby)!!

    I'm happy with my adjusted version - some may differ!

    A week ago today I got to shoot a brand-new Howa in .308Win at our club range. It had been fitted with the new GRS Berserk composite stock.

    Shooting the NATO-issue GGG stuff, I put three consecutive rounds into one raggedy hole, and the fourth one about 4 - 5 mm away.

    Beautiful trigger, too.

    That's good to hear. I'm about to order a new Howa Varmint in the same calibre (unless something 'interesting' comes along before the end of the month at the right price 2nd hand) although I think I'll be going with the B&C stock as I'm not keen on the looks of the GRS stuff, good as it may be.

    I really like the Howa trigger on the newer models, for a factory unit it feels bloody good. I've also found out that there's a mag conversion available with a 'real metal' bottom metal (as opposed to the polymer one they usually get fitted with) to take AICS mags... Importing it might be another matter though!
