If your talking brand new then the howa sould be fine you can make rifles shoot better by loading your own ammo. all rifles are tested for M.O.A accuracey before being sold. (groups less than 1inch at 1ooyds)buy the one you like and enjoy. Ian.
Ps; I prefer the .22-250 for foxing it`s flater, faster, further.
