Make a shooter out of it, and hand it down. The kids won't care if it's 100% original, only that it came from a father that used it for many years. And maybe that it'll drive tacks if they become serious shooters / hunters.

Thanks for all of the replies. I ended up having a good conversation with a member here, and figured I'd give him my business. The wheels are in motion. The old Howa will shoot again! I'll post pics when it's done.

They're pretty excited. They're going to go through the load work up and everything on this one. It's their first big game rifle.

Looks like a good rifle and I'm sure the kids will love it.
What bullet do you plan on shooting?

 

[PowellSixO]

I plan on trying lapua scenars, Hornady eldx, and the Berger vlds. I have a bunch of h4350, and not a lot of other powders. I'm hoping to find something that shoots well with the h4350.

Im right there with you Powell. Do it like you want it and feel like it is the rifle your father would love to shoot. It will never be a super valuable rifle but you can make it a handsome tool that is the gun of choice for you family.

Chad has spent time and offered exhaustive typed information to me and others. He knows his stuff as much as any out there. I think you made a great choice.

I finally had time to sit down with the kids and teach them the basics of reloading. Got some rounds loaded for testing tomorrow. Hope she's a shooter. Testing lapua brass, lapua 105 scenar's, wlr primers, and h4350 in various charge weights.
