Got the same response, 6mm arc will make a nice truck gun, and a good step up from a 223.

Has anyone heard anything lately regarding Howa putting out a Mini in 6mm ARC? I really think I'm going to need a threaded 18-20 incher, hopefully in a contour that isn't too heavy.

Haven't heard... and Savage is denying knowledge, even though several vendors have stock numbers for them (2 savages).
I would expect Howa to do the 6Arc in same barrels as the Grendel, 20" HB threaded, and 22" regular.

Maybe at the Shot show?

Thought I'd update to add that I emailed Legacy Sports yesterday to ask if they were planning on doing the Howa Mini in 6mm ARC, and got a response from a VP of Marketing and Sales of:

"Coming in 2022!".

This is the first I've heard Legacy state that a Mini in 6mm ARC will be coming. Wish it was a bit sooner, but with the way things are going with barrel shops now, I might not even be able to get an ARC tube for a Grendel barreled action before the factory offering is out.

Good to hear. Thanks for the update.

In my view: if availability of ammo & pricing of ammo were more favorable ,Howa may have been more timely in releasing their 6mm ARC chambering in a fine mini Action offering. As things stand Id plan for 2022 or later.
