Savage 70 vs howa 1500 your take?
« on: October 23, 2008, 03:56:29 AM »
 So i own both a howa 1500 in 243 and a savage model 70 i like both rifles but honestly i think the howa is better quality and just as accurate if not more depending on wich loads i use. What is your take on the two?

Do you mean a Winchester mod 70 or a Savage 110?

I like the Howas with wood stocks.  If you mean a Winchester Model 70, I wouldn't trade one Model 70 Winchester for 5 Howas.

I don't care much for the Savage products.

What is it that you don't like about the Mod 70? Is it that you prefer the 2 position safety? I am not looking for a diatribe about how superior the mod 700 is, I am just curious.

i did mean the savage 700 sorry about that missed a 0 lol but no i love the rem model 70 great rifle one of the best. I hear all this hype about the savage 700s but honestly i like my howa much more. My howa has a wood stock but it was originally black so i sanded it down revarnished it, it is the picture you see as my profile. whatcha think?

Winchester makes the Model 70.

Savage makes the Model 110 (other variations, all with 100-something designations), and the Steven Model 200.

Remington makes the Model 700, 710, 715, 770, 798, 799, Model 7, and XR-100.

Ruger makes the Model 77.

Howa makes the Model 1500.

Weatherby makes the Vanguard and Mark 5.

Browning makes the A-Bolt and the X-Bolt.

Smith and Wesson makes the I-Bolt.

Thompson Center makes the Icon.

Mossberg makes the ATR and 4x4.

Marlin makes the MR-7 and the XL-7.

I think that covers most of the well known brands and their bolt action models.   ;)

If I forgot one, someone add it to post....;D

I like the Model 70 Winchester, that's why I wouldn't trade one Model 70 Winchester for 5 Howas.

I like the Model 700 Remington best because it's accurate.

I think Tanker Joe is just messing with you guys getting all those 70s and 700s out of place.

 ::)  Sorry if this is a little off-point, but I did not know where to post this.  Since this is the bolt action forum, I thought I would ask here.  Patience please.  I am planning to rebarrel my Savage 110E from 30-06 to 25-06 (already have a second 30-06), and I was wondering if anyone has any experience using the e-gunparts.com online store.  Are they reliable?  I have read some bad reviews of Sportsman's Guide, which also offers replacement barrels.  Thanks.  Thanks for your patience.  Rich

I have not used either companies that you list for barrels  but I can recomend Midway. I have bought a couple of barrels from them and I have been very happy with both. Good luck
