Thanks for the update! I bought a 6.5 CM with the heavy barrel based on your original review and I love it!! The negatives you mentioned I agree with, an adjustable cheek pice would be nice and a few other minor things, but overall its a great rifle. Mine seems to love the Hornaty ELD rounds and doesn't group well eating anything less than 140G. One last complaint would be when the damn Skeleton hand grip becomes available. I want that skeleton look across the whole rifle, but ETA on the ultralight stock seems to be way out. Anyway, Thanks for your original review. I love the rifle, and for the money Vs. the results, it's a no brainer! Cheers!
excellent video, really appreciate you putting out great content. I have one of these being shipped to my FFL this week and am excited to get it out to the range and try out different ammo.
@@UltimateArms subscribed to you this morning based on the great videos. Thank you. Went with 6.5 in the heavy barrel. Next up, Leupold Mark 4hd in 4.5-18. hoping that makes for a good long range / potential hunting rifle
Picked up this chassis in black a week ago and dropped my .223 HOWA 1500 straight in. Put a 10.25in MDT Arca rail on which fits nicely. Very impressed for the price. Definitely agree about the angle of grip, it feels nice but for me a vertical grip would be better. Thanks for your review 👍
What type of lenses do you shoot with, are they for reading, distance or special for the scope . Would love to know what is the prescription you have for shooting. That you Albert

Nice review! This rifle sounds like a really great deal for what you're getting. Just so I understand the barrel selection for a .308...you can get a 22" or a 24" in either heavy or standard weight? Howa's website doesn't really explain that very well. Also, about the rifle's total weight...you stated that it weighs 2kg. It has to weigh more than that. That's only about 4.5 pounds which is awfully light. Howa's website states that it weighs 11.5 pounds and that sounds very heavy.
thanks for the heads up i never realized i said 2 kilos, it should be around 9.5 lbs. LOL my bad! and yes to the barrels and also a carbon fiber barrel. thanks for the heads up on the error, and please dont forget to subscribe
@@UltimateArms That's cool! 9.5 lbs. sounds way more on the money. I have to say that your reviews and comparisons have been helping me tremendously in my rifle buying decision. Many reviewers are all about shooting the rifle don't talk about its features and why they are important or not. You offer a lot more insight into the rifle. I already am!
@@markn4526 thank you very much for the great comment!!! yea i know about just the shooting ones! i look at it as if i would buy it or not. and is it worth the money. thanks again for subscribing!!! stay tuned more stuff coming
What would you pick between the 22" standard barrel and 24" heavy barrel in 6.5 CM and why? It's my understanding that those are you two non carbon fiber options and I'm trying to decide between them. Thanks. Edit: I should add I'm leaning toward one of these over the Savage 110 Magpul Hunter or Savage 110 Tactical. This will be my first rifle that I'm going to shoot at further distances as my suppressed Ruger American Ranch in 300 Blackout isn't going to win any long distance competitions.
good day. so the 22 inch barrel is a standard barrel which would be more of a hunting rifle, with a more contour barrel so it would be lighter and easier to carry around hunting. where the 24inch barrel is a heavier barrel and would be better suited for doing long range or prs style shooting. if you were planning on doing that i would go with the heavy barrel because it would be able to handle the 10 round groups, you would be doing in prs or long range, where as the lighter barrel would heat up to fast. hope that answers your question? and please dont forget to subscribe!! thanks again.!!
I bought the H7 .308 carbon barrel. I also purchased a Bog deathgrip tripod very similar to yours and i haventt used it much yet but i am worried if the tightened pressure of the vice on the handguards would effect the aluminum bedding at all. Is that a concern do ya think
nope not at all. i just have it tight enough to hang on to the rifle. you would be surprised on how little pressure you need it to be to grab the rifle. the other thing you can do is put a arca rail on the underside of the rifle, and use that. also the bedding is more in the back side where the fiber stock and the aluminum front meet. so it wont affect it. thanks for the comment and question, hope that helps you out some. ! thanks again
@@UltimateArms Interesting. I didn't know it was since everyone across the internet was buying spring kits and aftermarket triggers. However, I am just like you in which I was impressed with it right out of the box. Nice review btw.
@@richardgarrison3085 yup im like you if the trigger works why change it!!. thanks for the comment, and please dont forget to subscribe !! thanks again!!
