What how’s rifle is that? I like the color of the barrel. I’m thinking about doing the same thing you’re doing. I know it’s a howa 1500 but model or anything would help. Thanks
Yeah I ran across the Oryx when it was an independent company…there were some quirks I didn’t like at the time; but I don’t precisely remember what they were. Something to do with the magazine I believe, and potentially the looks. I’m not sure about them now that MDT bought them out. They may have improved the design/function.
I would like to hear your thoughts of the old vs new Oryx model. Did they change anything and would you try it again if they change things you didn't like about the old Oryx?
@@johnlicon2472 I'm not certain I can give a thorough answer as I've not played with the new one. Personally it was mainly the design aesthetics and some reported magazine issues with the original Oryx. I would assume MDT may have refined things a bit, but it doesn't look like they made any major changes. I'll reach out to them and see if I can get a more detailed answer.
Very nice video! That howa a standard or heavy barrel profile? Getting ready to buy one from brownells..under $400 right now till the end of the month.
I enjoyed watching, but even such a seemingly simple upgrade is a little beyond me, but it does look like it would be fun to shoot. Wish I could see more of the assembly, but understand why not. Kind of. Saw a guy get a strike because he slapped in a 30 rd mag yet another guy is disassembling a rifle and swapping out all kinds of parts modifying it up the ying yang and that's okay.
Yeah it’s really hard to know what kind of bullcrap the overlords are going to censor on any given day. I’m working on building up my Rumble channel, because RU-vids crap is getting old.
Trying to decide between a 300PRC howa barreled action for $500 or a bergara barreled action for twice the price. Twice the accuracy out of the Bergera or will the HOWA hit the 1,000 yard-mile long shots just as well as the Bergara?
That is very hard to quantify…it’s not impossible that the Howa will exhibit sub-moa accuracy. Which is more than enough for successfully, consistent 1000yd+ shots. If it’s going to be in a competitive situation; then the Bergera might be a hair tighter on groups - which equals a bigger difference at longer ranges.

They now offer the field stock (not XRS chassis but actually field stock they only had for Remington actions) for Howa 1500s now on mdts main website. Later they’ll be release them for ruger and savage etc.
@@theek.b They just made a release to dealers today about the Savage Short Action being available. It should be live on their website for ordering within a few days.
