The Howa Mini Action is a compact and robust rifle, ideal for bush-stalking and outdoor pursuits. Designed specifically around the dimensions of smaller calibres like the .223 Rem, this rifle features a bolt that is nearly an inch shorter than a standard short action. This results in a lightning-fast cycle and a significantly lighter, more compact firearm that does not compromise on accuracy.

The Ultra-Short Mini Action shrinks the receiver to fit the .223 Rem cartridge perfectly. Howa has created a rifle that is significantly lighter and more ergonomic than traditional "scaled-down" long actions. The shorter bolt throw allows for rapid follow-up shots on small game or fast-moving pests.

The 16" Compact Barrel is the ideal length for dense environments. It makes the rifle incredibly nimble in thick cover and is perfectly balanced for use with a suppressor. Even with a suppressor fitted, the overall length remains manageable for all-day carry, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a compact .223 rifle.

Equipped with the Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger (H.A.C.T.) Two-Stage Trigger, this system eliminates trigger creep and overtravel. The crisp, two-stage break ensures consistent precision, helping you make those long-range shots in open terrain.

The rifle comes with a 10-Round Detachable Magazine as standard, offering high capacity for pest control and easy loading/unloading when moving between hunting spots.
