Howa mini with a 4-16X44 Viper HS, Jefferson Outdoors hinged bottom metal and a few mods to the factory stock. The bolt is buttery smooth on this rifle and replacing the junk factory plastic trigger guard and mag make it a great little gun.

Thanks. I used matte spray paint applied with natural sponges and then a matte clear coat over that.

Van,
I bought that very same gun last year with a carbon fiber stock. It took me all of 2 minutes for it to become my favorite gun. It is light as a feather, the trigger is an excellent hunting trigger & it shoots every bullet I’ve tried very well.

I’ve killed 16 hogs with it and only had 2 runners.

Shoots excellent. It's one of my favorite rifles. It's my first Howa brand rifle and I liked it so much I bought a .308 barreled action as well!
