6mm arc build Howa Mini or buy complete

I have a Maven RS1.2 in route for mine, but I’m concerned it is too much scope for this trim little gun. I was going to get an SWFA 3-9 but drug my feet and they sold out. I see there is one in the classifieds though.

Maybe I should grab that or a Huron/Credo instead of the Maven?

@The Guide do you like the Maven on yours?

Stockys has the VG on sale for $399 right now.

Waiting for this Stockys stock is killing me….will be a nice backcountry rifle once it’s all buttoned up…Rings and bases will add 5 oz, figuring around 23oz for stock and bedding. Puts me at 7 pounds 2-3 oz. 106 and 108s at 2700 FPS will be a sweet little killing package.

That carbon barrel is listed with 1/2-28 threads at Brownells. Is that what it actually is? Seems like it should be 5/8 on that barrel.

Id be curious on this as well. Tempted of the Maven or just get a NXS

Brownells listed specs are always a little dubious. You are correct as it is a 5/8 thread.

The larger rim diameter of the 6 ARC (compared to the .223 Remington) has caused problems with bolt weakness in AR-15 rifles. Do the bolts in a Howa Mini Action have the same problem? Or are they larger diameter than AR-15 bolts? I don't relish the idea of a bolt failing by my face and hands, or even worse, having it happening to my wife.

No it’s completely fine in a bolt action.
