Meanwhile the sauer is allen key adjustable down to 1kg, and a clean single break. I didn't like the original 2-stage-ish trigger on my howa 1500, and if there's any proof of similar ill-feeling, it's everyone's knowledge/desire to have the triggers adjusted by ebay trigger guy. Just remember the sauer 100 was launched in 2016, yet the howa 1500 has barely changed since being copied from the Sako Golden Bear (close enough to Finnbear) designed back in the 1960s.

Both would probably print a similar 3-shot sub-moa group. And comparing the two barrels in like-for-like contours, I couldn't tell you which is superior. Nevertheless, most accuracy comes from the barrel. The bolt handle is also tiny on the howa - with no threading to change it, unlike the Sauer. I haven't pulled one apart, but the bedding seems fancier in the poly Sauer. I do like 3-lug designs - my plastic fantastic little ruger hunting rifle is a 3-lugger and i can work it fast, not to mention the scope is extremely low mount, low magnification, small obj for out in the sticks. Meanwhile the sauer is a 3-lug, meaning the throw is less, at 60degree, improving your chances of having a low mount scope. The bolt is an old 2-lug affair on the howa 1500 which equates to a 90degree throw, meaning you may have to mount your scope higher for clearance (depending on your obj size).
