LSI HOWA MINIACTION 6.5GREN 22 GRN - Blue/Black, 22" Barrel, 5+1 Rounds, Synthetic, Green Stock

I am very disappointed in Howa, and Legacy's customer service. I own several Howa rifles, all of them are Sub MOA shooters. I also love the 6.5 Grendel, and own 2 in ARs of various barrel lengths, both of which are Sub MOA shooters. I ordered the Howa instead of the CZ, because of Howa’s new Sub MOA guarantee. I received the rifle, mounted the scope and took it to my 100 yard range with several brands and bullet weights of ammo. The scope seamed to respond well to the adjustments, as it only took 6 shots to get it into the 5 inch red circle. I wasn’t worried about exact zero until I found the brand and load that worked best. Shooting 3 shot groups and letting the rifle cool in between groups I spent an entire day trying to find something that would shoot. Two types of Hornady, three types of federal, and two types of Alexander Arms. It was all premium ammo just as the manual calls for. Shear and total frustration, because my groups ranged from 3 inches for 3 shots, to 5.5 inches for 3 shots. Totally unacceptable results. I called Legacy and became even more frustrated. The wait to talk to a person, I was nearly an hour on hold. Then I was transferred to 4 different people and put on hold for another 20 minuets before I spoke with someone I thought was going to be able to help. Well I was sort of right in my thinking. She was of little help other than to take my email address. Several hours later I receive a questionnaire about the rifle saying that after I submit the questionnaire back to them they will then determine if they are going to issue a repair order or not. It is a brand new gun I have owned for a day!!! A day and a half later I received the repair order in my email. They tell me 6 to 10 weeks turn around. There is no UPS or Fed Ex shipping label. I am just done. Never again will I buy a Howa. I sent an email requesting a label. We will see.

I am quite happy with this purchase. The fit and finish is top notch. I was a little sceptical about the scope but I went shooting and it was cleat and scrimp. Can not speak about accuracy yet because I was shooting at 25 yrs just to get on target. I have wanted a 6.5 Grendel for a while and I am happy with Howa's product.
