Im in the same boat. When solo and focused on hunting - I’m out in the field until last light and than hiking back to my camp or hiking to where I want to camp in the dark. In Sept the days are long and up early. I tend to eat the big meal during the day. At night - I just want to get some...- mahonsr

6mm ARC Lightweight Backpacking Rifle Build
Nice - I feel good about that. That's the standard 20" heavy barrel right? Any idea on weight - no big deal if you don't. I'm wondering if the barreled action would end up being similar in length to a 700 LA with an 18" barrel - since the howa mini will have a longer barrel but smaller... -

That’s exactly what I’m planning to build and have a barreled action back order and a VG stock in order. Willing to share any pics? -

I’ve searched around and can’t find any info on the bottom metal / mag change from Howa. Is there any info out there? And wondering if it is a universal change or only on some models or what? I have a mini 6 arc HB barrel action on back order from brownells - wondering if this change would... -

New Howa Mini Action Floorplate
Nice - the barrel looks like a good profile too - might have to go that route vs the 20” Heavy barrel. Although I’ve heard it’s not too heavy -

New Howa Mini Action Floorplate
Is that with the standard 20” heavy barrel? I’ve been debating on 20” heavy barrel vs the 22” and getting it chopped and threaded back to 18” eventually -

Yep - that’s exactly what I did. They reached out, answered my question and said they would contact me when back in stock. -

What would be your opinion on the top 3 bullets in the 6 ARC if you hand load. I ask the opinion on top 3 because of availability issues (ie hard to find the 108 eldm right now) editing to include bolt gun, 20” barrel let’s say with 7.5 twist -

6mm ARC Lightweight Backpacking Rifle Build
Thanks for sharing. You mentioned it seemed tougher too which is good news. What are you torqueing it to and have you noticed any issues/flex etc? -

I think it might. I asked Jefferson and they said the three rounder was only for .223 - I bet they know if you asked. They were very responsive -

Agreed - don’t think you could go wrong. -

Haha! Same here! Did you back order the HB or order the longer sporter. I back ordered the HB. Called LSI and they said brownells put in an order for 100 in Dec or Jan (don’t remember which he said now) so hopefully won’t wait too long. Also said stainless wasn’t planned for anytime...
