Howa Mini Action EXCL Lite Folding Chassis
Product Description
The Howa Mini Action EXCL Lite Folding Chassis is engineered for shooters and hunters who demand maximum portability without sacrificing long-range stability. This versatile chassis for Howa Mini Action rifles, including the popular Howa 1500 Mini Action platform, creates a highly manoeuvrable "backpack rifle." By pairing Howa's scaled-down, lightning-fast Mini Action with a lightweight polymer chassis and a Mil-Spec folding adapter, it is a premier choice for New Zealand bush stalking, vehicle-based pest control, or navigating steep alpine terrain where every gram counts.
The centrepiece of this build is the EXCL Lite synthetic chassis, which provides a completely free-floated barrel channel for consistent sub-MOA accuracy while keeping the rifle's dry weight exceptionally low. This Howa folding chassis is equipped with a Mil-Spec folding stock adapter, allowing the rifle to quickly collapse down into a compact profile that fits easily into a hunting pack or behind a truck seat. The rear section features a fully adjustable LUTH-AR utility buttstock, allowing you to customise both the length of pull and comb height to establish perfect eye alignment with your optics.
Chambered in efficient, short-statured calibres (like .223 Rem, 6mm ARC, or 7.62x39), the Mini Action features a bolt and receiver assembly that is 12% shorter than a standard short action. This results in a shorter bolt throw for incredibly rapid follow-up shots and an inherently rigid action that forms a rock-solid foundation for precision work, making this an ideal Howa Mini Action chassis for various shooting disciplines.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Mil-Spec Folding Stock Adapter | A push-button, heavy-duty steel and aluminium hinge that allows the buttstock to fold flat against the chassis for compact storage and transport. |
| Scaled-Down Mini Action | The scaled receiver reduces overall weight and features a significantly shortened bolt stroke, drastically speeding up cycling times in the field. |
| LUTH-AR Adjustable Buttstock | High-ergonomic design providing an adjustable length of pull (12.5" to 15") and customisable cheek weld to suit various shooter profiles. |
| Free-Floating Polymer Chassis | Structurally durable yet incredibly lightweight, ensuring the barrel remains untouched by the stock to maintain strict sub-MOA precision. |
| H.A.C.T. Two-Stage Match Trigger | Howa's Actuator Controlled Trigger delivers a crisp, creep-free break adjustable down to 2.5 pounds, drastically minimising pulled shots. |
| High-Capacity Detachable Magazine | Comes standard with a lightweight 10-round polymer box magazine that drops cleanly for fast reloads. |
