Yet another 6 arc bolt build (for newbie)

I ended up doing the Howa + Elf Owl chassis. It’s a little dinky and nothing like my Tikka but whatever!

Welcome to owning a Howa Mini. I have a 6.5 Grendel in. Mini with similar issues feeding. So I am looking to build a Tikka in the same caliber. Also have a ruger ranch in 6.5G. Solved the feeding issues with a Bravo chassis and AICs mags. As you have mentioned. The bolt on a ruger is terrible IMO. Just to sloppy. Too heavy to carry hunting unless you are box blind hunting.

Odds are I’ll build a custom Grendel on a Tikka action.

Well it sure is a nice looking set up. Good optic choice!

So what's the plan? Fix it and run it or ditch it and go a different route? Ive never once regretted any of the 3 zermatts I own because theyre so modular. The 6arc is a great choice for that next step "up" from a .223 and will likely be what I get my son next. Just dont know that it'll be on an aftermarket action but its a great excuse to pick up another one.
