Tell me about the 6 arc

[WCT3]

How are the triggers on the Howa minis? What options are there for stocks?

6 arc if your gonna do an AR. I’d go 6 creed if your want a bolt gun.

Not terrible if you modify it - I clipped a coil and a half off the spring and have it set right around 2 lbs. It isn’t a Triggertech Diamond by any means, but it’s good enough.

If you don’t like it, jard and timney make drop ins for it.

Trigger are very nice two stage with clean break. Cut a coil or a bit more to reduce pull weight.

Howa Mini for 223 and 6ARC...which stock/chassis?

I have a Howa Mini 223 (22" sporter barrel) and just ordered a Howa Mini in 6 ARC (20" Heavy Barrel). The Factory stock on my 223 leaves a lot to be desired particular for the same reasons that the RokStock is being developed. Anyway what are your favorite stocks or chassis for the Howa Mini...

All depend upon how far you are shooting, IMO.

Ammo cost, barrel life, and less recoil are all advantages if you are shooting game inside 500ish and targets to 1000. 6 ARC over 6 creed.

Love both, different tools.

My daughter killed her first deer with a Howa mini I built earlier this year. I loaded a 103 eld-x at 2700 fps and she made an awesome shot on a bedded deer. Video is below.

Yes. Do it. Factory ELD-M is the same price as ELD-M for 223. This Howa Mini in 6 ARC has become my go to for everything here in Montana. Yes, everything.

Does that do everything include elk yet?

Shaw had a good sale this weekend!
In the 6 ARC FB group they said Shaw was really good for the price.
Get the the barrel then slowly buy a BCG and magazines. Gas block and dies.

Anyone know of a 14-15" m lock arca rail?

anyone run a 6 arc on a gas gun ?

16” faxon barrel, I’m getting 2500 with factory 108’s and cleared 2700 with no pressure issues this weekend with hand loaded 95gr TMKs.

It’s just under 2moa10 shot group at mag length, and at book max load for the bullet and powder. I haven’t messed with tightening it up yet, but have windowed mags and will be messing with COAL and charge some to see if that tightens it up. The factory loads were around 1.5moa so I think I can land somewhere in the 1-1.5 range.

This gun/barrel is a 200yd deer gun - I’ll hunt with it as is. If I tighten groups dramatically I’ll start taking it to distance. It makes velocity to get me to 500. My guess is it’ll be a 300 and under gun for deer with my time and shooting limitations.

I have no doubt a sub moa 6ARC gas gun can be built with 16” barrel and have an effective range of 500 yards. I probably won’t be the shooter though haha!
