I hope that barreled actions or the basic Houge stock models are available soon with standard pricing.

I posted some pics with the basic black stock right before you posted.

Damn! Gotta buy another gun

I do love these Mini's for the value!

 

[SloppyJ]

Thinking a mini carbon 6 arc might be my boys next gun. The stockys model looks pretty good. Thanks for sharing.

I was hoping they’d come out with a 22 arc. I think it’d be a great gun for the kiddo.

I couldn’t tell but any mention of stainless in any of the arc flavors (specially the 6arc) and anything on the bottom metal that was talked about last year?

Nothing stood out, and you see the pics.

Funny the catalog list the 6 ARC as 1:8 twist, but mine is stamped 1:7.5 twist.

I was hoping for a 7.5 but I think 8 would work with 108s.

Man if you have a chance to say something that’s the dumbest thing to not offer it in stainless. I’m sure they’d outsell the blued. I called the importer last year and said the same thing. Oh well

Yeah, it’s dumb, but they just sell them cheap.

Legacy Sports puts together these catalogs. There is probably a misprint or confusion. The barreled action is also listed as 1:8 twist on Brownells site and its stamped 1:7.5 on barrel.

I was worried when I bought mine thinking 1-8 might not be enough but was pleasantly surprised when my barrel was stamped 1-7.5

 

[PistolPete]

Nice.

There was a pretty solid rumor of Howa including their own Mini bottom metal (similar to JO), but I guess not...

2025 Catalog is available online. A lot of questions about twist rates and barrel diameters. The Minis have usually been a 1/2x28" 22" sporter barrel or a 5/8"x24 20" heavy barrel. This catalog seems to have just 20" heavy barrels with 1/2x28" threading?

Im going to go out on a limb and say there are issues with the specs in the catalog.

 

[HuntCrazy]

really hoping there is a misprint... would like to play with the 22" sporter

It shows a 22" sporter in the wooden stock version.

Not a fan of those giant magazines protruding. Is that an option?
