Thread: Kiwi made Howa mini ultralight chassis a reality?

Here's my balistic chart with my 10.5" running 120gr ELDMs

Basically, only it runs better high BC bullets faster. The 6.5 Grendel is a 7.62x39 case necked down to 6.5 and blown forward to 30deg shoulder and the taper almost straight walled

2500fps with 123gr.
Know your rifle, know your ballistics and know your limits.

.

this is what I meant...and was why I said my old 7.62x39mm was a 150 yard rifle and only needed enough accuracy to do that....

the line at top Ive left from your statement....it says it all really the INTENDED bit is oh so relevant.
as always,love your work,keep up the good fight.

the funny bit is thats the ONLY advantage the 30aac/blackout has over the x39mm....fast twist and better projectiles yet its touted as oh so much better.....
you still have to find the animals and get em to stand still long enough...Im having a bit of trouble with that as of late.

It is better to be out there missing an animal than sitting on the sofa thinking about it

tomorrow......got gear out,new ground to cover.....big heavy rifle to cart LOL.

Out of interest - is there an option out there for the takedown design that you had shown early on in the Elude development process? Just a very interested observer, no funds available yet haha. Thanks

Be super easy to make a version of that. I'll be looking into something similar for the next howa chassis design

That is a Grey Birch from out of Canada, another great company who were keen to make the 1913 sig butt stock attachment system the same as the one on mine to make it an industry std size so we can all use each other's stocks on our chassis. The origional plan was to make our forend attachment the same too but his 10-22 and cz/tika chassis is quite a bit wider than the elude so that didn't eventuate.

I wish you hadn't shown that there is a nightforce in the style that I'm wanting to do wingman. Thats going to be expensive....

I think Hardies he them in stock. You are welcome.

here is a photo of the 10/22 Ruger in its chassis .great to have the same fitting on it to be able to swap out bits

now that IS different.
