Howa - sako??
For those who know, Im trying to buy a stock for my howa rifle, and there are few that inlett for it.

But I have heard that the Howa action is identical to the Sako Finnbear also known as L61 or L691?

Does anybody know if this is true?

The WBY Vanguard is a Howa action.

I know the HOWA bares a remarkable similarity to the SAKO Finnbear but I wouldn't count on it being a complete match. Richards Microfit makes stocks for the HOWA in a variety of Walnuts and laminates.

If they don't say they do Howas, check for Weatherby Vangard - Same action.

Yes howa made the Vanguard and I belive the Mark V in the beginning.

I was just wondering about the footprint so I could maybe order a Rimrock stock. But I orderd a Mcmillan today.. just have to wait that freakish long waiting period of 12 Friggin weeks.. I want it NOOOW. Even though I dont have the rifle either Smiler

Oh well..
