    Tidy work on that bolt. Not my preference. But what does it achieve?

    Originally done to stop grit, ice jamming bolts. These days to shave a tiny bit of weight and for looks

    Was adding recoil pins to some mounts so decided I may as well turn my Howa into a mini Tikka and slab side it. I call it the Howikka. Profiled like a Tikka front the inlet up, Howa mini from inlet down. Recoil pins so ensure it holds zero through some abuse.

    Interestingly that's heavier than my chassis for them. I do like carbon fibre though

    Not much difference by the time you add a grip and bagrider. The chassis serves a different purpose. But they aren't comparable ergonomically. I get a longer forend a vertical grip with thumb above grip not wrapped. It rides a bag etc. I'm just not a big chassis guy.

    It is a decent sized pin at 7mm. But bigger is better right? Nah the rem 700 sized scope screw spacing was the deciding factor.
