http://www.blackhawk.com/product/Axiom-UL-Rifle-Stock,220,166.htm can be had for $170 or so. I looked at it awhile ago, I think it does look nice on the Howa, it has my attention for a couple reasons, "Ultra Light" @ 2:LBS 9 OZ. it is half the weight of my A5 on the sps Varminter it will help on the already beefy 26" barrel, I also like the pistol grip with a add on rubber grip and extra cheek weld comb is also a good add on as I have read. stiff forend way off the barrel which would help the barrel and action cool on the hott 22-250 caliber, pistol grip should speed up target acguisition for coyote kills. I have read accuracy is solid even with the recoil system which has a moving part with a spring loaded sliding action between the action and the butt.

A krg tactical bolt knob add on for $30 I may as well
