How many people are happy with their Howa Mini?

General RE LEE, any chance you weigh that stock for me?​

I’d go with listed weight on their site. It’s likely right.

I replaced my 223 Mini with a Ruger American Ranch and am very satisfied. It's handier, it takes AR mags, and it is just as accurate. The trigger is no Tikka trigger, and it's not even as good as the Howa trigger, but I still like it quite a bit.

Lots of room and full free float all the way to the lug with the sporter barrel and the Bell and Carlson M40. No modifications needed. I’ve heard some comment the Stocky VG should be half the price they ask for the stock.

Agree 100% about Stockys being over-priced for what they are. My VG is absolutely bottom of the barrel in terms of fit/finish. Inletting for bolt handle and release is flat out atrocious and their CS said it was within spec.

They did knock it down to "blem" pricing for me because a big chunk of paint was missing on the buttstock LOL

Good ergonomics though, I'll say that

I just went Bell and Carlson on mine. I want to want to grab this rifle as much as I do my xbolt and this helped. Lighter than factory, shorter length of pull. It’s a win, but not inexpensive.

Nice rig. I really enjoy my Howa 6ARC. It’s not as accurate as my Tikkas, but a little under 1 MOA is plenty accurate.
