My 20" 6.5c barreled action + trigger is 55oz.

Also, there is a stainless option if brownells ever gets them back into stock.

Great info! Thanks! Looks like a pretty reasonable price to get into a bolt rifle with a 4.5lb bare weight!

Does the 16 inch barrel on that barreled action come with a threaded muzzle? Any idea what thread pattern it is and the outer diameter of the barrel? Also, what was done to the Stocky's stock to get it down to 15.8oz?

What handguard is that? Which barrel did you go with?

Nice rifle

It's a homemade handguard. If you search my posts in this thread I document it. It'd just a round barrel nut I found with cutouts for a gas tube in it and a round section of CF tube. The clamp is what I actually made, but I found an aluminum one that I'd bet is only a few grams heavier than my home made CF one.

It's a faxon, they make the lightest 20", it's ~26oz iirc.

I had the barrel cut and threaded, unfortunately, it only comes in a 22 inch sporter or a heavy barrel. I think my stock originally came in at 18 ounces, biggest thing was removing the recoil pad and putting on a piece of thinner foam. I did some drilling and sanding too but the weight loss was negligible. I would get the barrel channel for the bull barrel if had to do it over again.

Ultimately, it’s a fairly expensive project for a inexpensive little action, but I really enjoy the rifle.

The 16” Superlite come threaded and $399 on sale from brownells. Stocky also sells the blem spotter carbon stocks for $299.

Anyone have an accurate weight on just the howa mini action? (No barrel or stock... but including everything else; bottom metal, trigger, action screws)? Or a weight on a take-off barrel? I'm curious how they compare to a kimber 84m action weight-wise.

@Stocky I think I saw on an NZHS thread you'd compared these two?
