Would a Howa Mini Action be too short to build a 30BR Hunting Rifle?

Yes, they used to offer them in 450 BM which is a .473 (308) bolt face. However, they discontinued that model in 2022 due to "lack of sales" according to the rep I talked to. I'm sure they're are a few on the used market. Would make a nice little hunting rig ; )

You are quite correct. I just checked Legacy's 2023 catalogue. On the plus side, the Mini is now available not only in 6ARC, but also with a walnut stock.

Or just use it in 6.5grendel Plenty of good bullets, accurate, low recoil and enough gun to kill deer and you could plink at longer ranges as well.

My vote is for a Model 7 chambered in 30BR.

loaded with the Barns 125/130 TSX at 2950, is a great white tail cartridge.
