Picked up a used Howa 1500 .308 from a co-worker the other day at what seems like a fair price after prices them. He says it was mostly used for prairie dogs and I can tell it's been shot quite a bit (he says about 800 rounds) though I won't be able to shoot it till this weekend. The action is very smooth and locks up nice and tight. I'd like to here from other's that have shot/owned one....what do you think about them? Here's a quick pic (the cheap Leapers scope will soon be replaced though):
