The Howa Mini Chassis in 6.5mm Grendel with a 20-inch barrel (brand part no. HMXL65GUSA) pairs Howa’s compact mini action with a chassis-style stock built for precision shooters who want adjustability beyond a standard hunting stock. Howa matches the barrel with a 1:8-inch twist rate to stabilize heavy 6.5mm bullets, and a detachable 5-round box magazine keeps reloads fast on the range or in the field. The compact Mini Action reduces bolt throw and overall rifle length compared to a standard-length action. Among chassis-stocked bolt action rifles, this Mini Chassis configuration favors precision shooters who want an adjustable platform in a compact cartridge.
