Chassis, ergonomics, and trigger

An aluminum chassis provides a rigid platform that improves barrel harmonics and repeatability over traditional stocks. The HACT two-stage trigger on this Howa action offers a crisp, predictable break that enhances shot-to-shot consistency. The three-position thumb safety gives a secure manual block while allowing quick transitions when needed.

Optics, twist rate, and cartridge performance

The included Nikko Stirling 4-16×50 with a 30MM tube covers mid- to long-range engagement well—ideal for the .308 WIN’s effective envelope. The 1-in-10″ twist rate stabilizes a wide range of .308 bullets from lighter hunting bullets to heavier match projectiles, making this rifle versatile for hunting, precision shooting, or training. The threaded 5/8×24 barrel makes mounting a muzzle device or suppressor straightforward.

Appearance, condition, and value

The applied Red, White, & Blue Cerakote is durable and visually distinctive without compromising function. At 13.20 lbs with optics, this rifle sits on the heavier side, which benefits recoil management and steady holds. With only 14 rounds through the action, the gun is in excellent mechanical condition. Priced at $1375.99, it represents a ready-to-shoot package that includes an optic and a chassis-ready platform.

For buyers seeking a chassis-equipped .308 WIN with a quality optic and minimal round count, this Howa build is a practical, mission-ready option. View product details and pricing or Check current availability on the shop page where you can complete a purchase through our retailer.
