Howa 1500 in 6.5 Grendal review - 06/15/18 01:06 AM
Gave my son a new Howa Ranch Rifle in 6.5 grendal for Christmas. kept shooting the .22-250 so it stayed in the safe till sunday.
new to the round but I thought a 7mm-08 was a tad too stout for him. I shot the rifle a few times and was surprised at the amount of recoil.....def. more than a .243.
I like these little Howa's. not fancy but solidly built bolt guns.
shot ok....thin barrels heat up quick. the scopes they came with are crappy (both were package combos, the only way to get a howa around here apparently) and I have not upgraded them yet.
I am wondering how the performance is on deer sized game? I kinda want to go find him a cheap sheep to shoot somewhere to see how it works.
