Howa Mini: custom barrel, Boyd's Agility stock

[m796rider]

Barrel is a custom 19.5" 1:8 5R prefit from Crown Ridge Barrel Works; it uses a Savage small shank barrel nut. The Agility stock includes aluminum pillar bedding and adjustable comb. Bottom metal is a DIP aluminum unit.

It took some doing to open up the barrel channel on the Agility stock, but I do believe it was worth it. The rifle shoulders extremely well and is a pleasure to shoot, especially with my Surefire can attached.

Nice looking. I looked at that agility stock for a while... for a small savage in my case.
I'm about 60% into the waiting period for my PBB barrel for my howa (22"), it too has a howage nut. I already have an mdt chassis so that's what it will sit in.

That is sick man. Beautiful combination of components.

Thanks fellas. It does well with the Berger 130 Tac Hybrids.

That is a nice-looking gun. How much does that stock weigh?

9lb 12oz according to my scale. That's with an empty 5rd mag inserted.

That's one beauty of a setup!
Love the Boyds just on my Ruger 10/22. So much handier to shoot.

To the OP and others who have used Boyd's stocks, is there much work to be done to get a good fit between the action and stock?

Thanks,

Not for me, but I got the optional aluminum pillar bedding. I did have to put in some work opening the barrel channel so my aftermarket barrel would free float, but I knew I'd have to do that going in.
