Looked over a Howa today at the shop, looked pretty nice. I would like to know how to compare:
CZ Heavy Barrel .223
Howa
Savage
Tikka
Any others I shold consider. Want a heavy barrel target type rifle. Laminate stock or nice wood. Black synthetic is last choice. Any experience with the above brands. Also how big a deal is the twist rate? Should I consider anything other than 1 in 9? I will be target shooting so I can buy ammo to match the twist. What is most surplus ammo tuned for as far as twist rate? I am pretty new to .223 - most of my target shooting is .22 LR in rifles and pistol. Also shoot 9mm , .38 and .357
