I have a howa mini in 6.5G that doesn't see much use. Thinking about a 20" nutted barrel in 22 ARC. Your thoughts.
 
I’m having this same thought for my Mini 6.5G, it doesn’t shoot to my standards so thinking of rebarreling it…let us know what barrel you end up with. I do like the Grendel, mines in a B&C stock with Jefferson Outdoors bottom metal…idk if bedding the stock would be worth it or not. I’ve tried 3 different 123gr Hornady loads SST, Black & BTHP and it doesn’t seem to like any of them.
 
My Mini 6.5G is on an Oryx chassis and it shoots really well. 123 grain and 95 both are very accurate. Not overly crazy about the chassis but the rifle shoots great.
 
Mine shoots well enough but I thought I'd be doing more hunting of larger game than coyotes, that isn't panning out. I do have that covered if the need should arise. The Mini is the only rifle I have with a Grendel bolt face and the only case I haven't done anything with so it might be a fun project to keep me out of the bars.

A 6mm ARC might be interesting also as I have a pile of bullets left over from my 6mm-204 project.
