Welcome to the clan, Wm, from the great nation of Texas! There are many of us here across these pages with Mini's. It is an excellent choice. I put a Boyd's At-One on mine, not necessarily the best choice - added a significant amount of weight and had to do a fair amount of re-shapping to make it comfortable. However, I put a Boyds Thumbhole on a Ruger 6mmCM and love it! Very lightweight and comfortable. Add a good muzzle break and scope and your grandson will enjoy it for many years. Put together a Grendel for my younger grandson and I can't find enough ammo to keep him fed! There are a number of threads across these pages about the Howa with a lot of setup and "my best load" info, Keep us posted with pix and "there we were...." stories.
