    Love the chassis but having a hard time getting past the $399 price tag plus add price for buffertube, buttock and grip. I have several Boyds and although I like them I lust for something different and fully adjustable. I guess I'll just have to see how the bonus looks this year.

      I bet they will come out with the longer ( xl ) if you wait. Just put a little $ back weekly and in no time you will have enough. Most reviews have been positive. Some reviews complain about the short length and some are have magazine issues , but overall it looks like a good product.

        looks good! I have a feeling the chassis will be able to wring out a bit more accuracy from the rifle - the only drawback for me would be the extra weight (and the fact that its probably not as comfortable to carry as a traditional stock)

          I just saw a magazine at the store and it had a rifle that looked exactly like that. It appeared to be a Mossberg advertisement.

              I knew Howa would release a chassis rifle . If they didn't then they would lose customers to Ruger,Tikka, Weatherby etc...... Anybody know the price on those ? I'm guessing around a grand . All the major rifle manufacturers are watching Howa's grendel sales . If these mini's take off big then we'll likely see many more bolt action grendels . It's the perfect youth/ladies caliber and add the adjustable stock it's a no brainer. If Howa would put the mini in the mountain rifle stock it would be a nice option too.

                this is a 20" #1 lightweight
                How much does it weight with the light profile barrel and lss chassis and with the factory story (for comparison )?

                      What is the weight of your setup. How much more does the LSS chassis weigh?

                          im pretty sure everyone is out of stock on the heavy barrels, they sell super fast. Whittakers may have them? i cant really say for sure who has them, any FFL is able to order these from us. Brownells just happens to be a larger purchaser of barreled actions.

                            street price for the one pictured is right around a grand. we may be working on something similar for the mini : )

                              I got a mini in HB multi cam back around Christmas ( love it ) . I for sure will get this chassis in the next few months . I'm saving for a Atlas bipod which I'm about 2 weeks away from having the $$$ , then I'll move on to the LSS chassis next .

                                Since the mini action grendel BARRELED ACTIONS became available I have seen no one but Brownells sell them.....
                                So who else is selling them?
