    Howa Precision Rifles

    Howa had their new long range rig on display: The Bravo available in 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5mm Creedmoor & .308 Win with
    20", 24" or 26" Heavy Barrels (threaded). Budget minded entry level package. Personally I'd like to see abetter scope on it out of the gate.....
    Other models also shown in conventional stocks / various configurations as per photos below. Liking the feel & balance of the Mini Action in .300Blk with 16.25" barrel.
    What a nice compact little package!

    Between the 783 and a Hogue is probably the best way to describe the "feel".

    They used to use just straight hogue stocks, sure it's not 100% hogue?

    If there using the name bravo I wonder if thats a KRG bravo stock on the rifle? If so seems to get good reviews as a good budget option.

    Could be:I never confirmed and I don' t recall seeing any designations on it. It doesn't feel quite as tacky / rubbery as a Hogue.. maybe it was worn slick from everyone handling it lol!

    On the Howa rifles they almost 100% use Hogue on all of their factory, "tupperware" stocks. They have a sweet little action though and it was definitely cool to walk by their booth and see swarms of people checking out the Oryx
    I have walked in the footstep's of elephants, heard lions roar and met the Cape buffalo on his own turf - I'm blessed to be born African - and proud to be Canadian!
