Howa APC Canadian Predator Bolt Action Rifle Package, Canadian Flag Chassis, 6.5 Creedmoor, 26" Heavy Barrel, Nikko Diamond 4-16x50 Scope & Bipod HCRA72597CAN

Did anyone BUY one of these YET ? If so how well (accurate ) does it shoot ?

Cheers RJ

Probably not a big seller. The Color scheme is not very appealing. It would likely sell better if all black.

I've got one. Sub moan with factory Honady ammo. Working on hand loads now to bring it in tighter. Runs like a top.

SO Howa uses Nikko Scopes BUT you found it POOR ? Optics ? Ajustment ? OR ? RJ

Came with a Gameking 2.5-10, the reticle was ridiculous, spherical aberration, just your typical $50 Chinese throw away scope.
The guns are great, don't expect much from the scope.

Thanks - The HOWA rifle package comes with a MUCH better scope ( Nikko Diamond 4-16x50 Scope ) then the Gameking is ! RJ

The scope is ok but I swapped it out for a Vortex I had.

Still wouldn't count on it being very useful. Best to budget for some decent optics, sell the Nikko and put the money towards that.
A good rifle deserves a good scope.

Pretty sure Bullseye Sports in London has them, saw a chassis rifle there with a Canadian flag colour scheme a week or two back.

Got mine as a birthday present to myself in 6.5 and love it. Yes, I probably will upgrade the scope at some point soon (I’ll still keep the one that came with it for something else) but a great shooter. I was on my second trip out to the range when I happen to see there was another one set up only a few bays down in 6.5 as well. I thought the likelihood of seeing another one would be slim, and completely unlikely on a day I was heading up. He’d owned it much longer, and was fine tuning his load development by that point. Here I was just learning the rifle on factory loads and saving the brass for when I go to reload. It did say, I probably hadn’t made a bad investment after all.

I love my Howa. I got the naked black APC however so I cant comment on the scope or bipod. The price was appealing but I wasn't a big fan of the Canadian version color scheme .

I mounted a Vortex diamondback tactical ffp 6x24x50 on a MDT 20 MOA rail, Caldwell accumax bipod and a cadex brake. Sweet rig! So fun to shoot. I definitely recommend.
