Howa Superlite 308win Field Evaluation

[KyleR1985]

I just sent my 6.5 creed superlite to get rebarreled to 25 creedmoor with a Shaw barrel by Alpine Rifles. Looking forward to seeing how it performs with a better barrel

How did Shaw chamber it? Deep chamber? Did you have to communicate with them on the tenon dimensions, or they had it handled?

Just curious, how much does something like that cost, and what will the weight be with the new barrel?

Won’t know weight till it is done but it should be similar. Same barrel contour and same 20” length. Roughly doubles the cost of the rifle depending on gunsmith and barrel manufacturer and if you get it cerakoted like I am doing.

Anyone have any torque settings they like for their action screws?
