6mm arc build Howa Mini or buy complete

Here’s a few more weight comparisons as well. This is also a picture of the original magazine vs the cut down magazine. Doesn’t save much weight but does fit mo betta.

I put a Timney trigger on the rifle yesterday. The bottom plastic (waiting on bottom metal) is just a little too small and it won’t clear. Other than taking a dremel to the bottom metal that is coming my way. Anyone know of company that has a bigger opening on the bottom metal for clearance of the Timney trigger?

For those with SWFA 3-9 on theirs or have tried it, does it feel too big in such a trim rifle? Planning to order everything but stuck on which scope.

Totally fine. Mine is 16” nomad ti vg stockys Timney JO Burris 2 piece tps super lows and the 3-9. Don’t know weight but it doesn’t matter to me because I don’t have anything to change. The balance and handling is great to me. Hope this helps.

Should add I like the setup well enough I have everything waiting to make a copy of it in 22 arc well except the 22arc haha. Maybe they’ll become available in the next few months.

I found the same when I installed my Timney.
The Oregunsmithing bottom metal has plenty of clearance for the Timney

Good enough for me that I've not felt the need to step down to a 1" Trij.

Not the best picture just a random one on my phone. I’m on shift and not home.

Just gathering some groceries for the freezer that day. I don’t remember if that was two or three? I do remember needing the truck or ranger and not the old 4Runner though haha

The 6arc I'm building is going to be pretty similar to yours! Different rail and rings and I'll be shooting a Nomad Ti XC. Otherwise it's the same. Haven't decided on a final barrel length yet, but weight before being shortened is 7.6 lbs.

 

[KyleR1985]

Which Burris 2 piece bases are you guys using? There’s not a mini option. I’m assuming another model fits?

 

[KyleR1985]

Scope, & rings added and swapped to steel bases (for better ring positions): 6 lbs 3 ish oz.

Looks like it'll finish a bit closer to 7 lbs 4-5 oz.

What rings and bases are you using?

Same pic bases as 700’s and tps super low.

Looks like the rings are discontinued or something? I haven’t looked for them in years. I guess after I use what I’ve got I’ll get warne mountains seekins or something. I’ve had great service from the old SWFA rings and if I remember correctly we used to get them free with scopes on BF sales. For whatever reason I’ve got the tps on mini and regular Howas and they’ve worked fine for me. I’d have no problem using another ring though.

Warne Mountain Techs are probably the better option for rings though.
