Good morning,
The primary purpose for this rifle will be for whitetail deer hunting. It will be my daughter's primary rifle (she will be 12 by the time the season opens).
This rifle is replacing a Ruger American Ranch in 300 blackout.
My first thoughts were to buy the BA from Brownell's and then buy a Boyd's or the B&C stock.
However, this is my first Howa mini, this is my first 6.5 grendel. I'm thinking now why not just go the safe and easy route, and buy the whole rifle as is from the factory.
I kept the plastic stock on the Ruger to keep weight down for her, but I did add epoxy to the forearm and free float it.
I am asking for confirmation or rejection on the idea that the Hogue stock that comes on the mini will be just fine for deer hunting. My thoughts are sure it will, but I am asking you all because you have experience with it and I do not.
Side note: I will purchase dies and roll my own.
Thank you
