Thread: Howa Mini EXCL Lite Chassis

If the EXCL really does weigh close to 500grams, I may actually consider going with the 20" HB Grendel instead of the 22" Lightweight.

Would love to know from anyone who knows what the weight difference is between the 20" HB, 22" Standard & 22" Lightweight.

According to the US Howa catalogue, .4lbs difference between the HB and std barrelled rifles.
