Howa SuperLite Short Gen2 .243

[UngulateGuardian797]

I’ve decided to share my “build” of my new Howa SuperLite Short Gen 2 in .243. It has a 16.25” barrel that is threaded 1/2”-28. It utilizes a new HS Precision stock built for the Howa SuperLite platform.



Bare rifle weight - No magazine or thread protector.



Rifle weight with empty magazine.



Rifle weight with magazine and 1/2-28 to 5/8-24 thread adapter.



Rifle weight with magazine, thread adapter, and Wyoming Arms 4 squared Titanium can.



Complete rifle weight with magazine, thread adapter, Wyoming Arms 4 squared can, Talley lightweight alloy scope mounts, and Leupold VX3HD 2.5-8x36 CDS-ZL scope.

I will be starting to reload for it shortly and will update my results. I plan to reload bullets in that 75-95 gr. range.

Let me know if you have any questions about the rifle.

Thanks!

New factory rifle or upgraded with a new stock? The HS stock makes me want one more than the Stockys stock did.

This is a new factory rifle.

Did they update the twist rate or is it still 10 twist?
