    Looks awesome. What's the OAL as shown, and what barrel length is that?

    From measuring with my fingers on the photo, guessing around a 12" barrel. Would assume over the magic 30" OAL

    This Howa Mini is available in some extremely handy chamberings now. A 350 Legend or 450 Bushmaster would make a helluva short range bush rifle, you could carry something like this all day in one hand you wouldn’t even know it was there. The sub sonic options are pretty awesome too. Swap out the barrelled action for a 6.5 Grendel and its a whole different rifle.

    Cool!

    @Flyblown, looks like the buttstock tube and cheek riser are carbon, and the chassis and butt are alloy of some description, not plastic. I'd have one for sure

    I would rather be shot out of a cannon, than squeezed out of a tube.

    Me too.

    So that weight in the photo, 1.8kg, add suppressor and a sensible lightweight optic and its comfortably less than a 5lb all up rifle.

    With decent suppression and a reflex red dot more like 4.5lb. Jeepers.

    A few will still have ODL titanium suppressors, will make a good match.

    Wouldn't be anything to do with Hardys would it. It looks like one of their cans and the barrel is carbon...?
