Anyone have or shot a HOWA rifle?

I was watching Preditor Quest over the weekend and saw he was shooting one. Got online and looked at them. I have never seen one in person, just woundering about them. Someone give me the scoop.

They look pretty nice, but i don't personally have any experience. One of my hunting partners bought a howa 22-250 one year. Now i dunno if it was the gun or just a bad year, but heres how it went: year before he bought it... hardly missed, year after, missed almost everyshot. Now i know that you can't blame the gun the whole time, but unforutanatly it made me think twice before i bought one. oh he sold it the next year, and i havn't seen him shot in a while so i dunno if he got better. Prob. didn't help much, but thats my input
