New Memember from West TN

[Worriedman]

Long time shooter and reloader, play a bit in Wildcats. Have a grandson (8 years old) that wants to tag along with PaPa deer hunting. Researched cartridges for a youngster and decided to go the 6.5 Grendel route.

Came on here to read and learn, got him a Howa Mini at a decent price, and want to set it up to be functional for him for a while. Looking to restock and add better bottom metal.

Welcome to the clan, Wm, from the great nation of Texas! There are many of us here across these pages with Mini's. It is an excellent choice. I put a Boyd's At-One on mine, not necessarily the best choice - added a significant amount of weight and had to do a fair amount of re-shapping to make it comfortable. However, I put a Boyds Thumbhole on a Ruger 6mmCM and love it! Very lightweight and comfortable. Add a good muzzle break and scope and your grandson will enjoy it for many years. Put together a Grendel for my younger grandson and I can't find enough ammo to keep him fed! There are a number of threads across these pages about the Howa with a lot of setup and "my best load" info, Keep us posted with pix and "there we were...." stories.
