Mini howa is looking good to me. Super light also. Do these how's come threaded? Any specific barrell design to look for ? Somthing pre threaded aswell as long lasting. I imagine some rounds will be thrown down it :)
Hey mate I am looking at doing the same thing - how is the recoil with that puppy?Quote:

Get a lightweight Oceania Defence suppressor if you are happy spending the money on the can or a DPT on it as they are pretty light too.
The suppressor would start just after the handguard bit ends I would think so would look quite cool. @tikka is the man to speak to as he uses a 12" 300 blackout for hunting with a dial up scope.
That setup may give you a lightweight rifle with 250 - 300m range (you would have to ask @tikka max distance he shoots at).
300 blackout only needs something like 10" of barrel to reach max velocity.

Hey mate. Recoil isnt noticeable never had any issue with it. Certainly has more than a standard length and weighted 308 but nothing to worry about

Having tried and tested this style of rig, it puts the shooter in a more favorable position when prone. Especially when used with a bi-pod. A sling is also useful when in the seated position and shooting off-hand.Quote:

Which therein makes some light rifles a drawback when shooting off-hand or in an unbalanced shooting position. A missed shot from an unbalanced rifle fired off-hand, would more often then not, lead to low impacts on the vertical plain.
A well balanced heavier rifle would lead to better shot placement and overall improved marksmanship @Norway uses chassis rifles quite a bit with rather good success. Maybe he could chime in on the subject?
Also I should mention this is what made the AR platform very effective in the stand/kneel/prone position. Lightweight ones were awesome. With the bolt being relatively center along with the magazine center to it, barrel up front, and the buffertube, buffer and stock in the rear kept the rifle well balanced.
I miss mine.
