I think I may have the Grendel fever, started with the Aero Precision build that started life as 300 BLK, its dressed in suitable black Magpul, UTG Pro forend, Odin 18" LBC with matching BCG. SLR adjustable clamp on gas block, HiperFire SDT trigger, and topped with a 3-9X40 Leupold VX-R Patrol optic. An H3+ buffer with EP Wolff springs tames her bite to 5.56 level. She weighs a svelte 8 lbs empty.

Next came the Howa Mini HB from Brownells, after much debate between the LSS chassis or a Boyds, I logically concluded why not both, she has the LSS in FDE with the Matching Magpul ACS-L stock and K2+ pistol grip. (i have the FDE PRS on order). Glass is a Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16X44 with an Outer Impact 20 MOA rail. 1st ten rounds down the pipe are reflected in the first target pic, I think she'll be a shooter. May try the Timney trigger later, My pull gauge has puts her at a tad under 3lbs. Having spent 30+ years pulling AR triggers of 8+ lbs she is like a feather. Her empty weight is right at 8.5 lbs.

Last is the only gun in my safe that I didn't build from an action or from scratch and it is an excellent example of the Lightweight Mini Howa in Highlander Kryptek from my local gunstore. Ordered in December for my Grandboy and got it two weeks ago. It has surprisingly nice Nikon Prostaff 5 FFP 3.5-14X40 scope. The second target attests to it's abilities. The reticle is fatter than what I would like for precision work but for minute of hog, deer, beast it is fantastic. She is a light an agile 7.2 lbs as dressed.

I would say you were bitten and infected . I got 2 so I really can't be talking ,lol . Since I've put a 20moa picatinny warne base on our Howa mini the groups went from .9" to 1.5" @100yds. So if I can't get it straight the base will have to go and put my DNZ mount back on . That LSS chassis is very nice looking. Once I get my Atlas bipod the LSS chassis will be my next " accessory" .

I went with the Outer Impact rail because the 0 degree Warne (20 MOA sold out) on the HB ran my Vortex out of elevation. I did notice a slight ridge (casting mark) on the bolt side, that I would have smoothed out. Funny the LW has the Warne and plenty elevation left in the 1 Inch Nikon Prostaff. The Outer Impact was half the cost and on Ebay btw.

I just installed the Warne 20 MOA base on my new Howa HB. I haven't had the chance to shoot it yet, but will keep an eye out for sub-par results. I wonder why you had trouble with this mount???

That is an awesome group out of the Howa! I've been kicking around the idea of picking one up but I didn't know about the accuracy. Now I do.
