[double gun]

Anybody know what they are supposed to weigh, and what they retail for?

Wow. Didn’t see that one coming. I could get down with one of those in 6.5 Grendel for sure. Saw the number 4.11 lbs quoted on another forum.

I think the 4lb 10oz is the model with the all steel barrel, and this stock. I’m surprised they kept that cheesy bottom metal (plastic) on this version.

Seriously, why the mag?

Yes please in 6.5 grendel

Would be a nice rifleq with a flush mount mag or hinged floor plate. It looks like a vhs tape sticking out of the bottom.

Yeah that’s a brutal setup on a rifle like that, hoping that it’s only on the mini action version, amd the full-size gets a hinged floorplate. I just hope they don’t totally cheese out a make it a blind mag.

Just got an email from Prophet River, he's checking availability and figures they're around $2200.

I have no problem with the mag as long as they have fixed the latch problem on the original mini and hopefully there's bottom metal for that price

That would certainly be a game changer in the world of ultra-lights. Howa make one damn good product.

Be very interesting to see the weight of the 6.5 PRC with bdl bottom metal

Hopefully Prophet River posts up some info....

How is the 2020 carbon model with bottom metal listed at 7lbs in the guns and ammo review? HS precision must be weighing in at a lot.

I’ve heard some pretty enthusiastic reviews of the alpine models

HS stocks with the aluminum bedding block are pigs

Because there’s a lot of us that prefer a box mag.

Yup x2

I also like mags on rifles that suit it. Just seems a bit odd on an ultra light rifle.

Mini action carbon stalkers are advertised at around US$1000

Interested in what barrels they’re using as well, not much info on that site.

I’ll be getting the Grendel for sure. I wish they had a floor plate instead of the stupid magazine setup
