Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game

Brings a up different question. No votes for the mini-Howa in .223?

Or go straight to the Seekins?
I have a mini-howa in 6arc... If it could do it over again I'd go a different route. It's not bad, just not what I was thinking it should be.

Care to elaborate?
I’ve been looking into 6 arc the last few days and I like the idea of it.

I have about 300rds through mine. It is I believe the hunter model. Carbon barrel wood stock... I didn't notice when I bought, but the barrel was not free floated, which wasn't the end of the world. I was going to put it in a chassis anyway. The best its shot with any factory ammo I tried has been about 1.25 moa. My AR with the same ammo has had consistent. 6moa groups. I was also hoping it have been a little lighter when it was finished. It's about 8 pounds loaded, with the suppressor. My first round of reloads shot about as good as the factory ammo. I doing more load development the other day and across 16 loads, only 1 was over 1moa... All groups where 3 shot groups.

I think with a different action, I would have had more options for a chassis and been able to get it lighter and also had more room to play with seating depth.

Over all its about .75 inch shorter that my Remington model 7 action and about 1.5 shorter than my 700 long action..

I know there are stocks that are lighter but I wanted a folder and something that was easy to adjust the length of pull..
