Legacy Sports International has announced the arrival of the Howa Carbon Stalker Mini Action rifle line. Available in .223 Remington, 7.62X39, and 6.5 Grendel with a 22-inch threaded barrel, or 350 Legend with a 16.25-inch threaded barrel, the rifle utilizes a Stocky's Custom Carbon Fiber wrapped stock to keep weight to a minimum. Indeed, the rifle starts at a mere 4 lbs. 10 ozs., perfect for long excursions in the deer woods, or simply a day stalking varmint.

The stock sports a Limbsaver Butt Pad to absorb recoil generated by the ultra lightweight platform, with an Accublock patented lug bed system for sub-MOA performance. A two-stage match trigger allows for easy accuracy, while a three-position safety gives shooters peace of mind. The action is fed by a detachable-box magazine.
