I can't wait for the rest of these videos. Am getting a Howa rifle, and your choice gives me confidence I made a good decision. Thanks.
This is a lot of fun. I can't wait to see the rest of the series. I would think you would have 2000 likes in a second.
Looking forward to following along with this build. Your excitement is contagious !!!
Welcome aboard!
Got a Howa 6.5 build because of this channel. Did my first range day and man it is a shooter.
Should be a fun series. I'm very happy with my build that was inspired by a lot of your videos. Really convinced me to go MDT for my build. Finally added the mirage shield this last week. I'll have the short video edited to release this week. I had to add something in red!! It was too much black. If you saw my recent videos on my Stealth Arms Platypus build, you'll know I'm all about Black and Red color combos. It turned out pretty well I think. I'll be showing it off on Thursday night with that mirage shield on!! Learned a trick to get MLok installed on tight fitting pieces like that mirage shield!! Have a great week, Piet!!!
Fantastic build! Love my XRS and skye pod, fabulous ergonomics, decent weight, and great versatility. I only have a Tikka in 6.5 barrel, but it puts 1/2 moa groups down all day long. She will be coming hunting with me this fall.
Been looking at those howa carbon barrels. Great idea!
This looks like a great series. Haven't shot for 15 years and having found your channel 6 months ago, ive just found myself trying to join the local range. look forward to getting into it and listening to your very helpful advice. keep up the great work. shame the UK doesnt have endless space!
I just ordered a Howa 1500 6.5cm long action on the MDT oryx chassis. Looking forward to getting it.
Gonna be nice, I wish MDT had more options for the Howa Mini
Agreed, they are so much fun.
As always, top notch content 👏🏽
Thank you for representing SA so well Pieter 👌🏼
Keep it up 🎉
Much appreciated!
Perfect timing on these videos. I've been looking at the 6.5 howa but havnt pulled the trigger on it yet.
Do it 👍
Looking forward to this build evolving
My Howa also loved piercing primers and after some measuring we found that the firing pin protrudes further than most rifles. I slowly filed it down bit by bit and now it fires reliably and I have not pierced a primer since.
It looks unreal!! Have taken up shooting from watching your videos, got my self a wee 22 to learn but want to pick up a 223 to train with, would you ever do a video on your 223 rifle and set up? Would love to make something smilier =D
I had thought about getting a howa mini action in 6mm ARC (Because I have plenty of brass) and using that as a trainer but think if I'm going to build a trainer I might as well just build another comp level rifle,,,, just in 6 ARC. lol Yes, I have a love for that cartridge. I have other bang sticks for hunting so for builds I'm keeping it to competition level rifles.
Would definitely like to hear what you do to improve the bolt/trigger on a stock Howa. Looking at getting my first Howa.
I'm interested to see how this will turn out. Hoping to see impressive results!
Carbon and camo would look amazing
Awesome series Piet, I'm going to grab some Federal popcorn and get comfortable
Piet you should try JARD triggers if you gonna swap out the trigger
Looks awesome 😎; hope you’re doing well, man!
Great video.
Would be nice to add the ball park pricing of each item for the rifle, including bipod 😊
Love your channel and it inspired me to build a custom rifle with the mdt chassis, but unfortunately I am a left handed shooter and can't find any left handed mdt chassis in south africa. Will really appreciate any guidance 🙏
6.5 Creedmoor Lapua small primer pocket case take more pressure than large, even in loads that are from powder manufacturer reloading manual
I’m currently running a 308 and looking at a 6mm creedmoor in the XRS stock then I can swap out the barrelled action and see what the 308 is really capable of.
Exelente
Yasss as always the watch game is strong🤣
I know the video hasn't premiered yet, but I will go ahead and say, Thank you so much for making this video, I have the same rifle (in heavy steel barrel and the same stock) I am looking for a good bipod but can't afford MDT and nor can I afford the muzzle break. I just invested in Vortex Venom and am easily able to make shots to 300 yards but want to go beyond - need to find a range that I can use to shoot over 1000 yards.
@Fidhle007 thanks for the encouragement.what bullets are you shooting? I just zeroed mine again yesterday with hand loaded 120Eld-M the powder is H4350
Good to see a affordable build, 👌
Can’t wait to see this one come together! I appreciate your commitment to bringing content that will present value to most of us. I have a couple custom rifles, but this is much more attainable:)
Piet, if I want a rifle build to do hunting and some competition, what would in your opinion be the best middle priced option in terms of caliber and manufacturer, obviously would have to fit an MDT stock/chassis. I was looking at 6.5 PRC but have no clue on what manufacturer is good. I don’t mind swapping things like trigger, etc. but would like to be able to buy barrel and action and put it directly in Mdt Chassis as I would never shoot with the standard chassis.
XRS 👍
You can make an old man’s dreams come true by sending him a nice setup such as this her in the States if you’d like.
Is the SABATTI ST-18 in 6.5Creedmoore any good?
Hi Piet, can you speak a bit more on small vs large primer cases and why you opted for small please?
my understanding is the larger pocket weakens the brass more than the small pocket does. initially all 6.5 CM was large pocket, but lapua (i think) said small rifle primers will work fine and keeps more material around the base of the brass where problems can occur. Now it's kinda up to the person what they choose to shoot large v. small. Personally, I've reloaded and shot both and I can't really tell a difference. They shoot about the same so if you can get more reloads out of a small pocket than go for small. If all you have is large pocket, do that.
Build a fast twist 243 Winchester
Question - do you feel it necessary to blueprint these Howa actions? Bush the bolt face? Seems like you transfer the barreled action to a chassis, add scope, clean the rifle of course, then develop a load for it. You must feel satisfied that the action is concentric, etc. Thanks.
You usually shot International barrels right? Love my Howa but re-barreling a Tikka T3xTac A1 and looking into different prefits
I want the KRG bravo…
Pete,
Did you ever complete your earlier Howa build videos?
When are you painting the xrs? You said you were going to make it camo
Did the Howa barreled action come with the carbon fiber wrap from the shop, or did you have it wrapped somewhere?
Hey Pete how do we get one of your shooting bags you use all the time here in the USA?
Is the Howa action threads 6-32 or 8-40 on the receiver mount screw holes?
What muzzle break was that on the Rifle you picked off the back rack?
Beautiful Gun definitely on my wish list
Pieter how do i become part of the binoculars giveaway 🎉
Hi Pieter.
Is dit rerig no dig om die moa rail op te sit?
Of help dit vir daai lang afstand skote?
Jammer as dit ñ dom vraag is.
Dankie vir al jou lekker videos.
Ek geniet almal.
Hou so vol.
What weight do all the components total so far?
I'm thinking about getting a Howa action with an XRS stock to take the place of my Scout, so my wallet started sweating when this notification popped up. Lol
Also, Field vs XRS vs TIMBR? 😢
Hallo Piet, as die reeks klaar is, doen asb 'n breakdown van all die kostes in rand asb?
Which magazine will work with this setup? I have ordered everything else, I can't wait to build it. I went with the Arken EP5 scope..
MDT poly/metal mag is the one to get for this build with no mods needed.
What barrel length did you choose for this build?
Where did you purchase the barrel?
Is a factory howa worth it to buy for a first gun or should one tend to look more towards tikka? Or even maybe rem 700 as these 3 dont seem to be the most pricy?
Where I live, howa are the most budget friendly option, then bergara then tikka- which are almost as good as a custom action
All will do the job, just depends on your budget.
Who is the Mnf of howa's cf barrel ?
Some say Japan and others say Reno Nevada 😂
a comment 😊
Shouldnt be so greedy with the likes, just make a youtube poll and stop cheating the most loyal viewers
Unfortunately part of the game we need to play with the algorithm.
@@IMPACTSHOOTING yeah I kinda expected that side of the argument to be mentioned, and It should me noted I 100% agree with it, it's just hard for guntubers these days. Same as its hard for NZ citizens like me to even enjoy the sport.
I would just suggest maybe slowing down a little on the algorithm preaching. It's the 2nd consecutive video where I feel somewhat cheated by youtube tyranny as someone who loves the practice. I love the content and cannot get enough of it, please try not to starve me because of factors outside of my control, I already share your channel religiously among my like minded friends/family.
Unrelated but I'm not sure where to place this. I discovered a channel that is stealing your video content to promote fake products. I reported the channel to try to get it shut down but maybe youtube will listen to you more. Its @thermalhunting001 youtube channel
