Bench/shooting comfort is great.Ĭlone? no way. I own and like some Rem 700 (early ones, pre-alphanumeric serial numbers), but I really like my S&W 1500 Howa 308 Win. Howa's AR15/M16 heavy duty style extractor (compared to the thin Rem700 C-clip extractor? Howa's integral massive front recoil lug on a easy-to-bed large surface area flat-bottomed receiver (compared to Rem700's thin slip-on recoil plate that is usually replaced during rebarreling/action truing, with a "precision ground" thick recoil lug/plate-which is STILL THINNER than the original Howa 1500 lug? The Howa's forged one piece bolt and handle (compared to Rem700's brazed handle to bolt)? The rugged Mark V Subalpine joined two existing models in the women’s series: the Mark V Camilla Deluxe and the Vanguard Camilla.

Hopefully this isn't 'the one model year' shunned for problems.Second, I have a S&W 1500 sporter blued 308 Winchester, essentially a Vanguard- made by Howa.

In the mean time I would like to learn of any limitations ahead of time as it will be my sons first shotgun.

I did search this site and Googled to no avail.Ĭame across a used Weatherby Orion 20 Gauge at Cabelas in Oregon and would like to know a little information about it.ĭon't have much more to go on at this point. of 1įirst off-please forgive me if this is a repeat.
