22 arc build- Howa mini action

[SippyCup]

Hey all. I wanted to share my rifle build because I came in just under the weight I was targeting. Total weight with the scope mounted but unloaded is 6lbs 15oz. Here’s what I got and how it’s put together:
Howa 1500 barreled mini action from Brownells. 20” BBL
Stockeys factory second stock.
Warne mountain tech 20 moa rail.
Vortex rings
Leupold vx freedom 4-12.
Factory bottom plastic and factory mags.

Eventually I will replace the bottom metal and rings and scope. After that I’ll be heavier no doubt. Rings and scope have worked well for me, but being new to this site and reading up on the drop test I’ll move on to something more reliable when the budget allows.
As for accuracy this thing is light out. I got 68 gr handloads moving at 3146 fps, sub 10 SDs and matching my ability behind a rifle.

Brownells has listed on their website. It wasn’t exact but it was pretty close.

They list every one at 5# so Im doubting the accuracy

When pop it out of the stock next time I’ll drop it on a scale. The guns heavier now. I got the Jefferson bottom metal, sold the leupold scope, and added a victor cheek riser.

did something similar, swapped the barrel for a 16 in from LS Wild, still need to swap the bottom metal but the rifle all in is 6 lb 4 oz. thing is a tack driver, thanks much @hereinaz

I’m not good at math, but here are some weights for comparison. This is a 22” sporter in 6 Arc in a Stocky’s 2nd with JO blind bottom metal. I’m guessing the 20” with its heavier profile would add a few oz’s.

Im looking to pick up 6arc with the sporter barreled action and put it in this carbon stock. I have a trybe chassis that the 22arc would live in and I could keep my thermal on year round.
Have you shot 103 ELDX from your 6arc yet? Curious of the performance

I let that one slip away to fund something else, but it liked 108 ELDM’s and 109 LRHT’s. Never tried 103’s.
