I’ve never had any troubles with the standard mags feeding wise. Can’t remember if they are the legacy brand tho. This is a custom built of the mini action. 16 inch 223 beefy barrel . 73gr Berger’s at 2730fps.

What would be the interest in the howa stock and a pulled off factory barrel?
Have a 17" barrel coming and not going to need the factory, and considering another stock. Just not sure if there would be an interest in these removed parts....or a price for them

Yes, feeds excellent. I’ve done a few howa mini builds so far, all wildcats, and they feed effortlessly. I’ll get some pics when I can, i’m away till Sunday.That's awesome. Looks like the howa mags. Everything feeding OK for you? I've got one of these on my short list. Can you post a pic or two of what the bottom metal portion looks like? Just curious.
24" 6.5 creedmoor
Stock is the american flag with the luth ar stock. Would love to find a GRS stock for the Howa
Can anybody talk me into or out of purchasing an MDT ACC for my HCR. I have absolutely nothing against my rifle the way it is in its current configuration. I certainly don't need a new chassis and I probably should not be spending on stuff I don't need right now. But damn it, it's just a sexy chassis and the BF deals are too good...
You don't want that stock...you want the american flag chassis! It is so much better.......oh andi am trying to sell mine. How about that.
Lol

Anyone got specs on the 300 prc that’s coming out? Mainly looking for barrel twist. I can’t get them email me back on specs and trying get one on order....
I had good luck calling their sales/ tech department when I was in the market as at the time, they did not list the twist rate for my Creedmoor.
My XLR Element chassis for Howa SA arrived last week, so a couple days ago I got on Brownells web site to order a 6.5 cm 26" heavy barrel threaded that I've been wanting and it's discontinued from the factory. I've been watching for the last month to see if it would go on sale and now this. Just my luck, lol.
I guess I'll try the 26" semi heavy and see how that works. Best laid plans and all that I guess. Has anybody heard if they're coming out with something new to take it's place?
Thanks, that's what I'm going to do. Waiting for my yearly performance bonus which should be coming next week and then I'll get the semi heavy ordered. The Element looks to be a nice chassis, should be a nice rig. Think I'm going to top it with an Athlon Aries etr, then just wait for some decent weather, which might be awhile.Haven’t heard of a replacement, didn’t realize they dropped it even though it hasn’t been available for awhile. Feeling a little better about falling into a 26” heavy back in the spring. Honestly I’d rather have the extra 2” for velocity than the extra ~0.2” for girth; I’d grab the semi-heavy in 26” and not sweat it. If you really like it, it’s only gonna be your first barrel anyway ?
Anybody have experience with Accurate Mag Sport-Tact Lite?
Sport-Tact Lite Chassis System
The SporT-Tact Lite series chassis has been developed to be a lightweight, economical version of the sport-tact chassis while still using many of the same features and styling themes that make the sport-tact system unique. The approach to the design of this chassis line was to keep the three...accurate-mag.com
So, picked up my 6.5 CR barrelled action from my ffl, looked it over and everything seemed fine. Took it home and dropped it in my XLR Element chassis. Pulled it out of the safe last night to fondle it a little bit and found my triggers first stage is missing. Have about 1/8" take up and breaks about 3 to 3 1/2 pounds. Pulled it out of the chassis, still the same. I'm new to 2 stage triggers, especially this hact. Anyone have an idea on the cause? Hate to have to send it back. Thanks for any thoughts on this.
It's just slack, nothing there at all, feels like the 2.5 pound trigger in my gas gun, except more take up. I've never had a 2 stage before, can't imagine they're all like this, my cmc single stage is way better.I'm a little confused by your post. What exactly is the problem? What you described is a normal 2-stage trigger. The first 1/8" you're describing IS the first stage, then you hit the "wall", from there it should be a clean break.
Timney has a single stage trigger for Howa if you want to replace it. I like my howa 2 stage with the 2nd stage set at 14oz. with modification.It's just slack, nothing there at all, feels like the 2.5 pound trigger in my gas gun, except more take up.

For those of you with the mini, has anyone heard of any manufactures making after market mags? They seem to be the weak spot for the mini actions.
Because pic thread...
Is anyone changing barrels at home on these? If so, how do you go about with it? I've never had or done a switch barrel rifle so I literally have no idea where to start. I see some barrel manufacturers are offering howa 1500 prefits. Any info would be appreciated!
That's freaking awesome, thanks for sharing...I have a McGowen prefit with howage nut on the way. I've read that it's a PITA to remove the factory barrel but after that you're all good. Here is an article that might help you: https://rifleshooter.com/2017/11/howa-1500-barrel-removal/
Just had my 6.5 HCR coated by Branden at Custom Gun Coatings in Reverse Nightstalker. It turned out great he is a real artist!
