Thread: Carbon fibre stock options for Howa Mini Action

Not sure I have shouldered a mod 7 but they are basicly a youth stock no?
Kimbers I have shouldered have always felt too short in lop for me tho that may be due to the owners preference to set his scopes up more rearward than I do.

For a light weight carry rifle that you will likely be holding in your hands rather than slung I love the slim slender stock of the model 7/kimber etc.

The shorter forend also just looks better with the shorter barrel. (Mod 7 standard cartridge is 20")

My howa mini is a 22 " 6.5G and the standard stock just looks too long in the foreend and hugely too wide and chunky.

At the end of the day we're talking about a mini action rifle. 223, 6.5G, 7.62×39 etc how far are we really going to be shooting them while hunting.

I've shot deer at 370 yards with my mini 6.5G but too be honest it's pushing it. 300 yards should really top that cartridge out. And 300 yards isn't that hard with any sort of rest etc so it's not an issue.

I don't have any issues shooting my model 7 7 SAUM out around 1000 yards with its short forend stock.

It's more about how it feels and handles and needs to look in proper proportion matching the rest of the smaller scaled down rifle.
