Howa Mini Action

Howa has been making firearms for a long time. Their headquarters in Japan is where they began manufacturing firearms like Arisaka rifles as far back as WWII. They have been making civilian arms for the US market since the 1960’s. As well as making contract parts for US manufacturers like Armalite and others.

The Model 1500 was later released and has become a staple of American hunting rifles, with too many models to mention here.

The Mini action was released to the market in 2015, a scaled down version of their very popular Model 1500 action. The Mini is made for .223 sized cartridges only, which makes it ideal for the cartridges listed above. 

Howa’s well known affordability brought a lighter and more compact bolt-action rifle to market with a dedicated mini-action for those looking to shoot small cartridges. Since its release, the Mini line has expanded quite a bit, with various configurations.
