Looking at a 6mm creedmoor for my daughters. I've priced out a donor semi-custom Ruger American Predator and KRG Bravo with AICS mag for around $1,000. However, Howa sells a complete "Howa Bravo" in 6mm creed for more or less the same price ($1,009).
I have a Ruger American in .308 and don't have any issues with the action or accuracy. However, I have no experience with Howa rifles. This will likely be a low round count rifle, so looking for first hand side-by-side experience with folk about which action/barrel/accuracy is better for the same price.
Ruger- 22" threaded barrel
Howa- 24" threaded barrel
With rings and SWFA 6x42, the Ruger comes in at $1465 and the Howa is $1477. Granted the Ruger will require a tiny amount of extra work swapping stocks, but that's no biggy.
Thank you in advance!
