Thread: Carbon fibre stock options for Howa Mini Action

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.

Yea fair points I guess.
I certainly agree with slimmer stock and forend.... maybe a touch shorter but not like that mpi mountain rifle stock that looks retarded.

I guess I am mostly after easy to shoot as its for my boys rifle.
223 so cheap to shoot and he can shoot it as far as he likes at rocks and steel and not wear out my rifle
