Anyone have a Howa Mini in 22 ARC?

[SUD1988]

I am wanting a 22 ARC in a Howa Mini. I am seeing some of the 22” sporter barrel models, but no “heavy barrel” models.

My Howa mini 6 ARC in the HB profile is shooting very well. It seems like the liter 22” barrels get mixed reviews.

I have one with the 22" barrel that I picked up 2 weeks ago. I tried it in the Excel Light chassis first and it grouped the 80 ELDX and 88 ELDM well but I just couldn't get comfortable with the plastic chassis as it just wasn't stiff enough. I'm getting some vertical stringing with both loads in the factory Houge stock (which usually indicates the need for tuning the torque on the action screws on Mini Actions) and I haven't had time to do any adjustments on the action screws in the last week. I have a Bell and Carlson stock to try if I can't get the rifle tuned in the factory stock.

I have a 22 BR mini, but it’s a custom job…

Pretty sure I have some Preferred 22 arc prefits for the mini. PM if interested. Not heavy barrels, but not pencil either.

Mini are too hit and miss than I like to admit. Love the platform.

I have the 6 ARC with the thin sporter barrel cut to 16.5" and suppressed. It seems like others experiences have been varied, but mine is plenty accurate. 10 shots groups in the 1" range and I shot a 0.33" 3 shot group yesterday with factory ELDMs.

Once I have some PM rights I will touch base. I have a .223 Howa mini that I am thinking about turning into a 22 ARC.

I’ve got both a 6 and a .22 ARC. Both factory skinny shortened/threaded barrels and both bedded into Stockys CF stocks. Mine are shooters with factory ammo or my hand loads. One I just put together for my ol man in .22.
