Howa HCR featured on NRA TV

Matt,

That rifle could do very well in the PRS, yet your barrel twists are HORRIBLE on the 223 and 243win. A 1-7" or 1-8" twisted 223 will shoot every bullet from 40-80gr without issue, and will do it with great accuracy. The 1-10" twist of the 243 is mind boggling- why would you advertise the gun as competing with the RPR and for use as a comp rifle, and then purposely make it NOT work with literally the most popular bullet in the PRS?

Until you get the twist and throat correct- these rifles are literally a dead end for their target market..... which you could own.

like i stated in the video, we are working on new twist rates that will be an inline change. were on the same page here : )
 
That is great to hear. The HCR is a solid setup and correctly twisted barrels will make it the one to beat in Poduction class.
