Up for sale is my pair of Howa Heavy Barrelled rifles. I am selling to build something custom that would be better suited for my style of hunting.
First up:
Howa 1500HB 308WIN
purchased new as a barreled action from a local shop a few years ago. less than 100 rounds down the tube, practically brand new.

1:10 twist
3 position safety
adjustable trigger
Parts list/MSRP prices:
Barrelled action: $531

The rifle shoots like a dream, the chassis fits most people perfectly with all the adjustability. Range pics are older, and I am sure I could do better shooting. Thats a 10 shot group I'm pointing at, if I remember correctly. If I can find time to get to the range soon I'll post some new groups. Will come with OE BDL bottom metal as well, unused.
Second Rifle:
I purchased this rifle used from Big Boys. The rifle is in great condition, there's a few spots of wear and a few old spots where there was a little surface rust, but I've cleaned it up.

This rifle shoots great, my most recent trip I was getting .6-.7MOA at 100 yards Using Winchester VarmintX 40gr, and that was with a hot barrel producing tons of mirage. Taking my time and reloading for it I am sure it would do a lot better.
One of the nice things about having both of these rifles is that you can swap stocks and most parts between the two. MDT makes 223 AICS pattern mags that will work with the Howa, and that's all you would need to get the 223 running in the chassis.
Cash prices:
For the 308:
Total MSRP Of build: $2530
total without optic and rings, $1391
Shipping and taxes aren't included with any of these numbers.
I would take $2200 for everything, $1200 without optic and rings.
For the 223:
Total: $1438
total without scope and rings: $1009
I would take $1100 for everything, $700 for the package without optic and rings.
Buy both rifles and I'll give you an extra $100 off for a total of $1800. Buy everything and I'll give you $300 off for a total of $3000.
Located in Oklahoma. A FTF transaction is strongly preferred, but I may be open to an FFL-FFL transfer and shipping. If meeting face to face I would be interested in possible trades, feel free to PM me for a list of things I am interested in, or I can post the list on here if desired. I would meet just about anywhere in Oklahoma. If you're from out of state and want to meet face to face, we will need to make the transaction through an FFL. I don't take paywall, Zelle, Cashapp, Venmo, Monopoly money, or Cryptocurrency.
