Almost any modern rifle, with quality ammunition, can shoot <em>one<\/em> three-shot group that measures less than one inch. I\u2019ve owned and tested rifles that produced the occasional three-shot group in the 0.5-0.8-inch range, but that averaged something closer to 1.5 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be fair, most gun companies (in the fine print) don\u2019t promise that their rifles will shoot consistent sub-MOA groups, and <em>any<\/em> kind of accuracy guarantee testifies to a company\u2019s confidence in its manufacturing process. But one sub-MOA group doesn\u2019t make a sub-MOA rifle, and gun owners have no doubt confused the two when purchasing a long gun that they hope will deliver shot-to-shot consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Howa KRG Bravo also comes with an accuracy guarantee,\nbut with one important difference: this rifle delivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First, some specs. The Howa KRG Bravo is available in three different chamberings. The 6mm and 6.5mm can be had with a 24\u201d or 26\u201d barrel, and the .308 Win comes in 20\u201d, 24\u201d, and 26\u201d varieties. MSRP depends on configuration but varies between $1279 and $1339.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Sub-MOA All Day!

The Japanese manufacturing company was founded in 1907 and started making firearms in the early 1940s, including Arisaka Rifles (Type 99), parts of infantry rifles (Type 38), artillery, machine guns, and bullets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Howa ended production after Japan lost WWII but was allowed to fire up its assembly line during the Korean War, and soon transitioned into sporting firearms. The Model 300 was popular in Japan, but Howa didn\u2019t gain notoriety stateside until 1967 with the introduction of the Golden Bear rifle at the 1967 Chicago Shot Show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"437\" title=\"Sub-MOA All Day!

The swelled sides taper in at the top, which allowed me to both wrap my thumb around the grip or float it on the same side as my fingers.

I\u2019d read reports that the HACT is adjustable, but the user manual doesn\u2019t mention how to reduce or increase pull weight. When I posed this question to Legacy Sports (Howa\u2019s U.S. importer), they told me the trigger <em>is <\/em>adjustable, but to make those adjustments users must first remove a glue coating on the trigger assembly. But here\u2019s the catch: doing so voids the Lifetime Warranty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t have many critiques of the Howa KRG Bravo, but this is one. Again, the trigger is great, and<em> I<\/em> don\u2019t have any complaints. But I know many shooters who run triggers weighing less than three pounds, and when even my $300 Ruger American comes with an adjustable trigger, I don\u2019t think Howa has much of an excuse here. I\u2019ll let the armchair lawyers pontificate in the comments, but whatever liability issues Howa is hoping to avoid should have been worked out by now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to the gun. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The push-feed action uses a forged, one-piece, two-lug bolt\nwith a 90-degree throw. The bolt is relatively heavy to lift, but the action is\nsmooth. The large, claw-style M16 extractor and M16 plunger-style ejector\nensure that the action won\u2019t fail after a full day at the range or during a\nfast-paced competition stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"615\" title=\"Sub-MOA All Day!

Once I figured out drop and wind holds, smacking a man-sized steel target at 500 yards was a piece of cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ranging out to 1,000 yards turned out to be more difficult. I didn\u2019t have a spotter or wind meter, and the wind was inconsistent and changed direction halfway through my shooting session. But I did manage to ring steel three times before running out of ammo, and while the hits you see below weren\u2019t consecutive shots, the cardboard backstop revealed solid shot groupings given the weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" title=\"Sub-MOA All Day!
