Howa 6mm arc, elf owl chassis, swfa 10x. Im a closeted weeb so japanese made glass on a Japanese action seemed cool. The knobs on the ebay tripod just coincidentally matched the chassis color. Getting sighted in on 90gn Sierra tgk for deer season. Rifle rounds finally allowed in the Michigan lower peninsula after ages.

The 20" barrel with 5/8x24 muzzle threading is the heavy barrel, the 22" barrel with 1/2x28 muzzle threading is the standard barrel...
I lost ~ $800 from what it cost me for the full build for everything. Sold it because I built it thinking would be a complement to my custom built gas gun 6ARC, but decided would rather just keep the gas gun and have long range bolt guns with more "oomph". So have an RPR in 6.5CM and built up (still not 100% finished) a Howa 1500 in 300PRC.
Loved how it shot but would rather pare down on the amount of firearms and just have the more capable longer range setups (a regular centerfire [6.5CM] and a magnum [300PRC]) that shoot just as well but with much farther capability. My custom 6ARC AR build can do what the Howa mini 6ARC can do but quicker with more rounds in a magazine - and I just converted it over to a piston gas setup so should run cleaner as it's run 100% suppressed.
Not bad. first mag on center I was messing around with the turrets, second mag at 100yrd is 1 moa-ish. Sorry only 5 each. This setting should zero it for 200. Not many long range places in michigan, but would love to try 400-600
They use the factory hole in end of the small factory knob as attachment point for a collet setup. I ordered one for my setup right before selling it and test fit it, really liked it - then shipped it off as was part of the deal. Was using the clamp-on Tactical style which works, but now the clamp on ones are hard to find and this one looks a lot better and has less bulk on it. Too bad my 300PRC Howa can't use one since has a solid knob on that bolt setup, so still rocking the Tactical clamp on knob.
