Has anyone had any experience with the Howa Axiom 1500? I was thinking of buying this for my son in the .204 cal. And if it is a good purchase may buy another. Just want to know about the positives and negatives of this rifle and where is a good place to order it from.
 
Japanese manu., similar(same) action as Weatherby vanguard, and the old smith & Wesson rifles, getting popular with the Hunt TV crowd.
 
They're selling for around $1200 I believe. No way its worth that kind of money, you're just shy of a Cooper and could get into a Sako or Kimber for same price.
Whats that saying about "lipstick on a pig and its still a pig" Its a Vanguard with a pricey stock. OOOOOH I forgot Les Johnson shoots one....maybe its worth it ;)

Cheers!!
 
their $995 http://www.frontiertaxidermy.com/html/howa.html still to expensive for what you get in my opinion.....but a vanguard go over to richardsonmicrofit order up a nice laminate stock it will cost you under $200 shipped to your door. You and your son can finish the stock together and he can have a rifle that no one else has and one he tricked out......that's very cool and your son would be stoked!!! all for about $700
