Hello everyone,
I ordered a Howa Mini action in 6.5 Grendel on 10/29 from Buds Gun Co. Its is the 20 heavy barreled model with the HTI stock. I may regret not getting the MDT stock but I thought I can always add it later if I cant stand the cheaper HTI. I also ordered a Vortex Diamondback tactical scope, Warne one piece base, and vortex rings so it should be a nice little package. I called and did the verification on 11/2 and Now the rifle is in the processing stage and Im hoping to see a tracking number to my FFL any day now. I originally set out to buy a Savage Axis 2 precision or Howa 1500 in .308 Win as a kind of budget precision rifle. But after weighing the options and seeing the ridiculous increase in the cost of reloading supplies I decided the mini action was the way to go. I have a bunch of once fired Alex-A brass (Lapua) and lots bullets, powder, etc for my Grendel AR so I dont have to worry about ammo and can get right to load development. So I am planning to use this forum as a unboxing, building, load development, etc post so more to come!
Happy hunting,
