Howa mini-action in grendel to be released in mid-2016

[stangfan94]

personally, i wouldnt thread anything but the #6 heavy barrel.
the heavy barrel version of this is still plenty light. rifle only still hovers in the 5lb range.
with the 6.5 grendel rifles using hornady 123gr ssts, all three barrel profiles kept groups under one inch from cold bore with three shot groups. using a factory barreled action and factory hunting ammo id say thats pretty darn good. just remember, any barrel modifications void the factory Howa warranty.

You posted the weights before and listed the heavy barrel at 6.4 lbs. That's a bit more than 5 pounds. Is 6.4 an old number? Is it lighter than that?
