Howa 1500 6.5 MAX?

[welldone7]

Has anyone chambered a Howa 1500 for the Sherman Wildcat 6.5 MAX? If so, what caliber did the build start out as? I have a Tikka T3X that I chambered for the MAX and it turned out great.
I just recently got into the Howa Mini action in 65 Grendel. I am very impressed with with this action. I'm now thinking of a 6.5 MAX Howa.

6.5 max on the mini? Or another short action.
I have a howa .204 that I turned into a 6x45. And a howa mini I had cut to 16" and heavily flutes. Both are great little rigs.

Oh no, I could NEVER stuff a 6.5 MAX into a Howa Mini. I was just saying that I recently got some Howa minis and I love them.
I now am interested in a Howa chambered in 6.5 MAX. Short magnum action or long magnum action?

Im getting a 7saum built on a howa long action, supposed to be in tomorrow. But I'm excited to see how it does, as my howa 300 win mag was my favorite rifle. I will let you know how it feeds. I'm waiting on a 7max as well from straight jacket.

How did these builds come out? Any reason for saum over max for the howa aside from having another on the way?
