Since you took the time to set up the wabbit for a photo, you could have left the wabbit guts out of the pic.

It's a shame that someone at Howa don't shoot,so they could connect dots. Were it 1-8" and driving a mag system of greater COAL latitude,they'd of had it. Couple same in S/S and you are there. If forced to suffer 2.300" COAL constraints,I'd just as soon go Krunchenticker mags,if only because they abound and are proven in their rugged reliability. Going to a proprietary system that doesn't share mags and is of such trite latitude,is a right proper Goat Fhuqk. S/S Stoners will grant more COAL than that and are 10 Clams a throw. With them,one can keep 75A-Max ogives above casemouths and reduce the leap to boot. Because boolits matter more than a smidge,mags matter more than a smidge and the parcel can be no better than it's weakest link. When one becomes Twistchow and COALchow,the goodness is gone by default. When talking .378" casehead DBM's,AM steals the show,as 2.500" is easily arranged. Their 5rd is of modest profile,as compared to say a Stoner 10rd. I'd much rather drive a blind magbox of far greater latitude,than a DBM squeeze which precludes the good stuff. 'Twere a 105A-Max and 75A-Max Show yesterday,with a single magfed smooched poke each. The 270 launches the 105's at 2525fps from it's 18.5" spout('335) and The Rocktucky is squirting 75gr formloads at 2980fps from it's 21" tube(Lever'). With PSA S/S Freedom 16" Middie Rifle Kits for under 350 Clams and stripped lowers for under 50,when talking bang for the buck...I'm going Krunchenticker to reap a S/S spout and eek more COAL,as well as reserve RPM at 1-7". Mags of course abound are are vastly superior to boot. They rock with a 6x MQ on top. Hint. While Howa is better than a bunch,they failed miserably and only scratched the surface on this attempt..................

I agree as well but all the above isn't needed to pop things at 1,2,3,4,5,600 yards.

Heck I'd be happy if Ruger would make a decent length mag for my properly twisted RAR.

I wrote multiple emails and made several calls before the launch. I begged for the 8" twist and a 2.50" mag box. I wasn't a fan of the proprietary DBM either. I've even made calls and sent emails in the last couple of months at the request of my rep. All to no avail...
Weatherby sent me a questionnaire a few months ago asking for thoughts about Howa's mini. I told them the exact same thing I'd told Howa.....wanna bet they don't listen either?
Some day, somebody will connect the dots and everybody else will be left in the dust.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Mike Not at all and I'll hang onto the Mini, but they need to start hiring gun people when they want to develop a new gun. Travis

It's almost as if the industry is being pressured by some entity or interest not to do rifles right!
Seems the gun industry can be the slowest and least innovative at times!
.223's specifically have been using fast twist, long length bullets for 20 years now at least.

It's a shame that someone at Howa don't shoot... Izzactly what I thought about the stock as the plastique was shreading.... They've got good material but musta never handled a rifle with classic lines? Even these clubs had some slimness.

How loud is the safety, think it'd be an issue if the truck was just idling? Rookie! Just turn up the 8-track, they'll never hear the safety. Sycamore
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

THE truck gun has not.
Did some road hunting two weekends back and saw 4 but I was about 45 seconds behind each one. Way far out and sixth gear when spotted.
Will try again this weekend. Almanac says good things.
