The Howa Mini Action Stainless HB Green .223 Threaded 20" rifle is an excellent choice for hunters and sport shooters seeking precision and reliability in a compact, lightweight package. This rifle features a scaled-down action, providing a more efficient and lighter platform without compromising performance, making it highly manoeuvrable for various outdoor pursuits in New Zealand and beyond.

Engineered with a completely smaller action in overall size, not just length, the Howa Mini Action’s design is inspired by an early Sako action. It incorporates a one-piece forged bolt for enhanced durability and a firing pin assembly that is easy to strip out for convenient cleaning. The flat-bottom action ensures superior bedding, while an integral recoil lug efficiently transfers trunnion pull, contributing to consistent accuracy shot after shot.

This rifle is equipped with a crisp two-stage HACT trigger for precise shot placement and a three-position safety. The safety allows the bolt to be opened while engaged, providing added security in the field. The combination of high-precision Howa 1500 components and an ergonomic synthetic stock creates a dependable, lightweight rifle suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities, from bush stalking to target shooting. The Howa 1500 series is renowned for its cold hammer-forged barrel, robust steel forged bolt and receiver, and the reliable HACT two-stage trigger system.
