Howa Mini in 22 ARC

[ThatDUDE]

It has run flawlessly so far. Maybe 400 rnds thru it. I’ve also done another in 6 ARC that has even more rnds thru it and it’s done great as well.

Thank you for getting back to me. Now I may have to really take advantage of a stainless action and do the 22 ARC.

just bought a Ruger American 22 arc, but this sure is interesting

I have looked at those recently. I wish a company would make a carbon stock for them.

MDT makes a good looking stock for it, and they make great stuff. Probably heavier than you want though. Going to let my son shoot it as is with the really short LOP of the factory stock, but my plan is to put the MDT on it and a timney trigger if we really like it and want a better stock.

Stocky’s make a carbon stock for them.

Either traditional hunting grip or vertical grip versions.

He was asking about a Ruger American Gen II carbon stock not the Howa Mini Actions.

Ahh, my bad. Should have read it closer.

Finally actually put the Howa Mini 7.62x39 converted 16” .22 ARC to work on a high fence S TX management buck. 88 grain ELD M, 140 yds roughly with a Polonium K can in place. Found jacket sticking half way out offside hide on the upside in pic. Apparently core passed on thru. Entry hole was golf ball sized, exit was dime sized upon examining interior rib cage. Can only assume due to cup and core separation. Not much blood on ground but also only made it about 35 yards.
Both lungs and aorta took the brunt.

I put together one recently with a 16” 1-7 twist Preferred Barrel Blanks barrel.
Built it on a stainless 7.62x39 barreled action from Brownells. With a full JO hinged bottom metal in a Stockys CF it weighs in at 5.5 lbs minus bipod and Scythe. Surprised me how well it could make hits out to over 800 yds even with just a Trijicon 3-9 running off the shelf 88 ELD Ms. Love this thing.

Great build!!! Where did you get that rail that does not cover the ejection port? Definitely need one of those!

PC365 how does that Howa blind mag work? Seems some people like them and some have feeding problems.

Mine feeds flawlessly

It’s an Outer Impact Howa Mini 20 MOA rail. Been bedded and Black Max bonded to the receiver.

So y'all would have no qualms deer hunting with a 22 ARC shooting 88 ELDMs?

Absolutely not. I'm using the 75eldms in my 22CM and it has put down 6 whitetails. I'm trying out 88s this year.

I’ve seen what 80-90 grain 6mm bullets can do, I’d have no issues throwing the same amount of lead with an even higher SD at a whitetail.

I'm going to go the Howa Mini route when LSI releases them to the market. If they do a 22" sporter and a shorter heavier barrel, I'll probably go with the 22" sporter like I got with the 6mm ARC.
