This old Boomer suspects that if they offered a SS Mini with a standard Howa hinged floorplate, they’d sell like hotcakes at $600 to maybe even $700.
Anyway, like my Fieldcraft, I’m glad I jumped right on this one. Now I just need some needy sort to answer my ad for the blued one……
As much as I like stainless rifles, I passed on the new stainless Mini's from Brownells. My blued Grendel and 223 both shoot very good, and I'm keeping them for that reason. The Grendel has been fancied up with OG bottom metal and a Stockys carbon fiber stock. The 223 is just like it came from the factory. If Howa would market the Mini in a stainless with the hinged floorplate like the full size 1500's have, I'd be in the market for several different chamberings, even if I had to the replace that chunky stock.
