Now you just need to convince them to make them in Grendel, 20in barrel in light sporter and a varmit profile.

sweet, that may just be my next rifle.
New Howa Micro Action- POLL ADDED - FW Conch - 01-24-2015
"Other short action calibers coming". How could they not include the Grendel ? What could be a more obvious perfect fit ?
It looks pretty sweet :-)

That's exactly what I've been looking for when I break down for a centerfire bolt gun for my girls.

It seems anti-ergonomic to adopt a mag release forward of the magazine.

Nice!
Howa rifles have scored very well in tests over here.

At the SHOT show they announced that new calibers would be coming out in 2015 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/01/30/new-howa-mini-action-rifles/

I just sent an E-Mail to Legacy Sports suggesting Howa produce this action in 6.5 Grendel. I figure it can't hurt to try I used this E-Mail. AMcCormick@legacysports.com

Well I already got a response from Legacy Sports, I guess I'd better start saving my pennies.
We ARE working on it ! I totally agree ...
With Hornady already having the ammo on the market with SST and Amax loads and
GMX coming ... great option for a deer / antelope cartridge !

Yeah! :-) ... Yep! Gotta start putting money away! Wonder if we can place an order! :-) ?

Who all would be interested in these in 6.5 Grendel? We're looking at the option of running a Group Buy to get the ball rolling.
Poll added.

These are pillar-bedded, synthetic stock, hammer-forged barrels, really nice 2-stage trigger. Basically, they look ready to glass and go blasting with.

MSRP will be between $599 to $699, depending on barrel and stock selection. They have been looking seriously at this since it came up at SHOT.
New Howa Micro Action- POLL ADDED - Drift - 01-30-2015
Thats 1 for a Lite Hunter.
New Howa Micro Action- POLL ADDED - VASCAR2 - 01-30-2015
I think this rifle begs for a threaded barrel so someone can use a suppressor or other muzzle device.

I prefer to handle that myself, with someone that will cut the threads to the suppressor-maker's preferences. You know I'm already thinking about that, especially since I want to start my girls off on center fire with something pleasant.
I wish I could go back and vote for another rifle, the target option, because I didn't know the MSRP at the time. I could do 2 of those easily. I've been thinking about a 6.5 Grendel M40 micro action rugged field target gun.

Or something like this:
New Howa Micro Action- POLL ADDED - LRRPF52 - 01-30-2015
The micro action really supports everything from hunting to competitive shooting, since your bolt travel is shorter, follow-up is really fast, recoil is basically nothing compared to short action cartridges, and it smacks stuff hard. For running and gunning, a lightweight gun that tracks well is a huge advantage over the front heavy beasts, especially suppressed.
I'm pretty excited about this.

This is great news! I've been waiting for a factory Grendel bolt action for a long time.

Is there a time frame on this? I would love to have one of their heavy barrel varminters but I just got done building an AR57 so it'll be at least this fall before I would have the money.

Maybe I missed the announcement, but what weight GMX is Hornady planning to use in the new Grendel ammo?
Just curious if they're planning a new Grendel-specific bullet, or if they're gonna simply load an existing projectile.
New Howa Micro Action- POLL ADDED - bwaites - 02-01-2015
That's a dream rifle, but I would prefer an A-5 type stock in a heavy contour. At $699, I'd do it myself!
PS- I run a Howa in 7mm WSM and its a great action. I'm really excited to see them consider this.
