A Christmas ARC for Bartell Jr

Howa Mini Carbon Stalker
22" 1:7 twist sporter contour barrel
5lb 1oz bare rifle, 6lbs scoped with Vx3HD 4.5-14x40

Maybe a near perfect walking varminter?

That's awesome man and such a solid way to build memories. You will sit back one day and something will click when you are watching him when he is a young man and you will think to yourself - "I was a good dad".

Good for you two!

Great to see my little bro with more new hardware. Can't wait until he is big enough to carry his pack and mine up a sheep mountain!

Just watched a comparison video on the 22 arc and the 22 creedmore.... Put me into search mode for a 6.5creed to build into one of these things!!

So awesome. Beauty setup!

I have heaps of 22 cal 40-55gr bullets here, so this ARC will see a lot of light for caliber stuff

The 40gr Hornady Vmax is shooting pretty fair, only powder I have tried so far is Dominion 8208BR. Velocity is 3710 fps

First blood

40gr Vmax @ 3700 fps, 70 yard shot

Just got to love that, 40gr Vmax @ 3700 should do the trick for sure, sweet

Very awesome. How's the accuracy on that one?

I purchased one last June, only shot approx 3moa. Still waiting for a warranty replacement rifle.

Haven't shot it a lot yet, but a little over 1moa for ten round groups

I bought on of these rifles for my daughter in 6mm arc. She got her first mule deer with it this fall. Great rifle for a kid. Havent tried the 22 arc, but looks like another fun cartridge to shoot.
