    Howa Alpine Mountain Rifle test drive

    Good thoughts. So the volume of a cylinder is V=pi x r x r x h first cylinder is 0.308". So radius (r) = 0.154" h=17" therefore V=3.14 x 0.154 x 0.154 x 17= 1.266 cubic inches. the next cylinder is 0.284" for the 7mm-08. Therefore the radius (r)= 0.142" V=3.14 x 0.142 x 0.142 x 17= 1.076...

    That is actually a very smart point. If they only took the weight from the .308, then the 7-08 would be more. If you wouldn't mind, could you show your calculation? I'd like to see what assumptions you've made for mass of steel, and the calculus you used to come up with the volume of a...

    Best Lightweight Rifle Under 6#? (in 6.5 Creedmor)

    Just a word of warning: The Howa will not be a sub-6lb gun. Mine, bare, weighs 6lbs 1oz. Confirmed on 2 separate digital scales. It's in 7-08 with the hinged floor plate. There's some shifty-dealings going on with respect to advertised weights.

    Howa Alpine Mountain Rifle test drive

    I have not yet had the opportunity to take it out to find out for myself. But there is a youtube video on the interweb of the shop owner shooting my exact rifle before I bought it from him. In it he's able to get it to shoot MOA-ish with factory hornady ammo. I'm hoping I can do better with...

    Howa Alpine Mountain Rifle test drive

    The weight advertised was 5.7 lbs. That equals 5lbs 11 oz. No mention in the advertisements of different models weighing different amounts. A consumer would expect, from the info given in the advertisements, that the weight of the rifle would be 5 lbs 11 oz. My rifle weighs 6lbs 1 oz...

    Howa Alpine Mountain Rifle test drive

    Apparently 5.7lbs is with the DBM setup, but WITHOUT the magazine inserted. So with all necessary parts of the rifle, it will still weigh more than 5.7 lbs. I'm surprised Howa didn't just quote the weight of the rifle without the bolt inserted. That would make it a lot lighter to quote in the...

    Howa Alpine Mountain Rifle test drive

    Well, Despite not getting a response on the question above, I pulled the trigger and got one of these in 7mm-08. I ordered it online and it was shipped to me. When it arrived yesterday it was the first time I had actually seen one of these in person. Mine has the hinged floor plate, not the...

    Howa Alpine Mountain Rifle test drive

    Hi Randy, I was wondering how well the Cerakote has held up over these past few years. Any chipping or peeling? I'm on the cusp of getting into one of these but I'm just trying to make sure there will be no issues down the road.
