What Howa set up did you purchase? I was looking at this in 6.5.

I bought the Howa Legacy APC Chassis with the 'Greyscale' cerakote model (it's black & grey). 6.5mm Creedmoor.

Click the 4th dot from the left under this rifle (the RW&B one), to see what mine looks like.

ETA: I have NOT changed out the scope yet.

What are your thoughts? Good value?

I LOVE the rifle as is. However, most of my friends use scopes that read in Mils, not MOA. THAT, is the only reason I'm looking to change.

They're more proficient with scopes than I am, and since they're used to Mils, it'd be easier for them to teach me, without the trouble of converting Mils to MOA (for my scope settings).

That said, within the first 25-30 rounds I put through my 6.5, I was hitting steel at 1000 yards.

I did change out the bipod. It came with a 6"-9". I put a 9" - 13" on it so I can shoulder if it little more comfortably, on the shooting bench.

I put the 6" - 9" bipod on a 20" HB AR chambered in 5.56. I only shoot 20 round mags out of that rifle.
