Howa Alpine .308 on Cabelas Gun Library

[Newtosavage]

Someone really needs to buy this rifle before I do. I don't need two Howa Alpines, but boy is it tempting. That Bansner stock has become my all-time favorite stock now. It really soaks up recoil.

My 7mm-08 Alpine has replaced my stainless T3 as my go-to hunting rifle, which is saying quite a lot.

They are worth the asking price, and if a person doesn't want the plastic DBM setup, they can find Howa hinged floorplate bottom metal for about $50 on FeeBay all day long.

My 7mm-08 Alpine with the hinged bottom metal, Talley rings and a Weaver Classic K6 scope weighs in at 6 lbs. 14 oz. on my scale. With the plastic DBM setup, it was only 6 lbs. 10 oz. scoped.

The 5 lb. 12. oz weight they have listed is legit.

Good share. Yes they are nice. Not sure what else a person needs for a lightweight hunting rifle.

One thing I appreciate most about my Howa Alpine is that it loads and feeds as good or better than any rifle I've ever owned. It's wearing the hinged floorplate now, but the plastic DBM setup did very well too.
