Howa Expands Mini Action Line
At the 2015 SHOT Show, Howa introduced a new rifle action: the mini action. It is 12% shorter than a standard short action, suggesting that the rifles can weigh less, and a shooter may be able to cycle the bolt faster.
At introduction, Howa made rifles chambered in .204 Ruger and .223 Remington with the new mini action. Now, the company is offering guns chambered in .222 Remington.
