Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Bolt action rifles in 6mm ARC

Got confirmation yesterday from Legacy Sports that they will be importing Howa mini actions in 6mm ARC Q1 or Q2 of 2021.

Who else has plans to make one?

David,

Did you mean 2022?

I have interest in this one. Did they mention barrel length and contour?

Yes 2022

I didn’t ask except “will you be making a mini action in 6mmARC?”

“Yes, Q1 or Q2 2022”

I got the same answer from Howa a little while back, I'll definitely get one. Wouldn't mind getting one in the factory chassis in addition to a lighter sporter style in some stock other than the usual Hogue.... The new carbon fiber stock Howa is offering would be awesome.

I love shooting my 21" AR, but wish it was an 18" for use with cans. I'd probably want an 18" threaded barrel for the Howa Minis as well, the round does surprisingly well in shorter barrels.

I usually have plenty of room in normal AR mags with 105gr and under, I haven't heard great things about the DBMs the Minis come with, maybe they ought to offer compatibility with AR mags on this version.

My fingers are crossed for a Ruger American predator,

I think I’ll sit this one out and stick with my Grendel. Nice little cartridge though. It would be very helpful if they would:

1. Make a Mini with a hinged floorplate
2. Import Minis in SS (and make more of the larger ones available in SS too)

Maybe, if the price is right. I just got my 6 ARC gas gun running correctly. Adjustable gas block did the trick on that one. I would mind playing with a bolt gun in 6 ARC.

I picked up a Savage Axis II in 6mm Arc while I wait for a PacNor barrel for my CZ527. Suppose I like the savage well enough for the price. Seems really smooth when I clean the bore. & suppose I need to remember it is just in a plastic stock. Have on the order of 400 rounds down the tube so far & best groups I have seen run roughly 1.25 MOA at 100 & 300 yards. Bullet availability Has me holding out on trying my preferred hunting bullets until the CZ 527 barrel arrives.

Placed the order w Pacnor for a drop in CZ 527 barrel chambered in 6mm AC, back in early February Reached out yesterday looking for an ETA & E-mail received today from Pacnor suggested that she may be another 6 weeks or so or so before I may have the barrel in hand.
