Hi Bigthug87 the howa is a (Varminter Supreme) you can go to the web site (http://www.highlandoutdoors.co.uk/) and have a look. The gun shoots well, but be warned it is heavy to carry around, OK for target shooting but a bit heavy for lamping and stalking, I'd go for a remi, or tikka with light barrel, but if your feeling strong it's a good gun.
