Thread: Kiwi made Howa mini ultralight chassis a reality?

Hi, perhaps you could point me in the right direction. I'm after one of these chassis's and a .223 mini-action to go in it. No luck with searches so far. Does Wingman still put these together and are you manufacturing the Chassis still. If so who do I make contact with? cheers

Pm me .

I have received my chassis from Rob last Friday. So far I am really pleased with it. Just took it to the range and shoot a sub 1/2 inch group with my 223. The chassis is really well made and very light weight. The only thing I need to point out is that if you use a rear bag the the rear stock does not work well. See the photo attached. Otherwise I really can't fault anything so far. Thanks Rob and wingman for the excellent product!

Good stuff mate, glad you are happy with it. If you find yourself shooting of a bag often give Rob a yell and grab a rider for it. It screws into the accessory port in the bottom of the stock.
I fit mine up for load development or sighting in but the remove it and fit a QD cup for a sling when hunting.

Has anyone purchased one around Feilding/taihape area that would be happy for me to have a look at? Save me a 9 hour round trip to Cambridge. Cheers guys

I’m a five minute drive if you still want one to investigate ?

A couple live @ our place in Wanganui very happy with mine cheers

My Elude out doing Elude things. Have owned it quite a while now and it is by a country mile the best bush setup I have ever used. It currently has my Pard thermal scope on top but I have a small Leupold 1.5-5x20 that normally lives there. Video in the link is my son head shooting a small goat at 225m, which is a pretty good effort given its a low magnification and old tech thermal scope! You can only just see the tiny black dot of the goat fall down on the opposite hill.

For all those with chassis and those that want them.
Have the bag riders done up. Come in at 30grams with the need cap screw. $60+post

Anyone put a folding stock on one of these? Sourced a 1913 folding stock adapter anywhere? Keeping a longer barrel & having a lightweight folding stock sounds vaguely appealing

Ive go some of the Sig pistol brace folding stocks havent offloaded yet

It's on the list of things to design...

I remember there was talk about a take down version? where is that at?

Current legislation and their interpretation sadly limits the usefullness of folding stocks...

I wonder if a takedown conflicts with the same regulations? Haven't looked at it too hard. Be an interesting thing to argue that when the barrels not attached it's not a rifle. Guess hardy does it too.
