Howa Mini Rifles, Builds, and Upgrades

[Marshfly]

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.

What’s your barrel length and velocity with the 108s?

What’s your barrel length and velocity with the 108s?

22" barrel 2676 FPS. I load with Varget which is more temp stable but slower velocities.

Right on. Seems that 2500fps would be feasible out of an 18”. Makes a pretty formidable little round at 6500’….

It is. My 17.75" 6ARC dopes out to 2550 MV with factory 108 ELD-Ms. That's verified dope to 650.

...or the .350 Legend. For the limited 40-100 yard range he mentioned it would be about as good as it gets with a lot of available ammo.

Or the 300 BO would work and have both subsonic and super sonic hunting loads available. If I was in an area where my shot distance limitations were as discussed, I'd be hunting suppressed with the 300 BO if it wasn't a straight wall state and a 350 Legend if it was a straight wall state.

Nice and that’s with using Varget? About to have a 18” soon
