    So, Did I screw up?

    Xmas gift for...it's complicated. Not me.

    My research says if I were to build this rifle, I would be north of $1200.

    Did I screw up?

    This looks like a Factory Chassie stock, don’t know how it would compare to the MDT LSS chassie but it looks good. Your right I don’t think you could buy a 20” Howa action and build one for that price. I think all it needs is a 20 MOA mount optic and bipod.

    You can put me on your Christmas list.

      Hell no. I bet that Matt will chime in soon but looks like a good deal to me.

        ****EDIT**** I though it was but now maybe not an HCR Chassis. Not sure what brand - have not seen it.

        As for the rest (optic, mount...) It is now on it's way. Vortex PST 6-24x50 Mrad, Warne Mount, Talley Rings (High), Atlas knock off Bipod, spiked feet, and scope level. Still need lens covers, sling, spare mag, and I am sure a few other things.

          Pm Matt at Legacy. It's not in the catalog but should be priced comparably.

            So it is an HCR. I was looking at the Aussie version of the HCR. Good deal. Not a knock off...I hope.

                  OK. You tested it. How did it handle?

                    Sticks,


                    Great job, looking to do that myself. Just traded my Christensen Arms Mesa to Chazroh (nice guy), for his VX3 8.5x25x50 Leupold. I am going to put one of these babies together for my long range rig. Just waiting for my HB to arrive. 10 day wait. A2

                      The stock on the Mini Howa Chassie in the GB ad looks very similar to the design of the factory 6.5 Creedmoor so I figured it was the factory stock. Matt hinted there was a chassie coming for the Mini Action. Come on Matt give us a range report if you’ve tested the factory Mini Action Chassie.

                        Yours is in jail, mine is waiting on check processing and USPS. Hope to have mine about the same time yours gets paroled.
