I've built four rifles on the Mini actions, and figured I was pretty well finished when an old customer asked me to watch for a good deal on a Mini with the Grendel/7.62x39 boltface so I could build him a rifle in 6PPC on one. Every once in awhile, LSI will run a special sale on complete rifles, and that's what happened several months ago, when they offered 6.5 Grendels with the HTI stock & Nikko Sterling 4.5-14 scope for less than Brownells was selling just the bbl'd action for. I snapped up two of them, then ordered a couple of HokeyPokeyKid's DBMs for these rifles. I'd bought DIP DBMs for the other four Minis before he made his DBMs available, or I'd have tried at least one of his on one of them. All I can say is that I'm darned glad I had an excuse to try these Jefferson Outdoors DBMs - not only did I get super-quick shipping, but these were priced under what DIPs DBMs are, and are at least a little nicer than the DIPs in my opinion.
