Bill wrote:Pretty much LawrenceA but I think they may have take some meat out of the action too by slimming the receiver and making the dimension more like a the Mini action, I wonder if they have also gone with the smaller lugs like on the mini too...

That's about 28 ftlb of recoil energy with a typical 165gr load at 2640fps. Slightly less than my K95 in 30-06. So it going to be jumping high off the bench.

I know, I know. It’s outrageous. But there’s always the possibility of not shooting off the bench?

Bill wrote:Wow I was just checking out the new 2022 LSI Howa range of rifles when I noticed they have listed a new Super Lite rifle with a new Action in between the Howa Mini and the Standard Short Action with only a weight of 4lbs 7oz.
Way to go Legacy Sports International, Id love to see this sold as an action only, be a great donor for a few new builds
