Bill999 looks good in the Stainless!
308mate it is lighter than;
1. the LSS (1.x kg).
2. standard stock (980+ grams)
3. the heatseeker (900 grams excl. butt stock & grip).
4. the Oryx stock (1.x kg)
I almost coughed up the coin...
Yea, I waited on this for the purpose of a lightweight rig, at 500grams it was the lightest possible option. Even went with the standard profile barrel.
With it coming in at a piss poor 850grams, I...

6.5 Grendel 22" Standard profile – Wgt: 3.8lb
6.5 Grendel 22" Lightweight profile – Wgt: 3.6lb
Details are scarce on the EXCL, but all Howa's in NZ seem to be supplied to dealers as Barrelled Actions and Stocks. Assembly done by dealer in the configurations they choose. So if the Lightweight...
The number I had heard was 0.5kg (unconfirmed), however, hard to imagine that you could get the stock, butt stock and pistol grip to weigh even close to that!
Hey guys,
Supposedly been one of these floating around in NZ (mayby Broncos), described as a very light weight prototype stock for the Howa Minis.
I have done some phoning around and found out...
