True, although I bet it makes the Mini in 6ARC even more stable and possible more accurate. My primary #1 hunting rifle is a Tikka UPR in 6.5 CM and it is 11 lbs.
I'll tell you what. Build a Mini 6ARC with the goal of keeping it light. Kill something with 108 ELDMs. I wouldn't be surprised if that 11# Tikka sits on the shelf when hunting for the most part. These rifles are just so darn easy to shoot.

do you think Howa will make a 338 ARC mini? I mostly hunt in an area where its 40-100 yards and thought the ARC would be fantastic in this mini action

Why not just use the 7.62x39 that the Mini already comes it? Seems like a pretty good match for your needs. Howa can be slow to pickup new cartridges, often a year or more behind other manufacturers.
