The Howa HWH762 Mini Action Hunter is a purpose-built bolt action rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm, designed for compact efficiency in field operations and hunting applications. This platform prioritizes maneuverability and reliable performance in demanding environments.
Key Features
Mini Action System
This rifle incorporates the Howa Mini Action system, engineered with a receiver and bolt assembly that is 12% shorter than conventional short actions. This design reduces bolt travel, optimizing the cycling rate and facilitating rapid follow-up shots. The compact action contributes to the rifle’s overall reduced length and weight, enhancing portability without compromising structural integrity.
Barrel & Receiver Construction
The HWH762 features a 22-inch blued steel barrel, factory-threaded for direct attachment of muzzle devices or sound suppressors. The blued finish provides a degree of corrosion resistance. The blued steel receiver is drilled and tapped, preparing it for immediate integration with a wide array of optical mounting solutions, ensuring stable zero retention.
Stock & Ergonomics
A robust walnut fixed stock provides a stable and traditional shooting platform. The material choice ensures durability and a classic aesthetic while contributing to recoil absorption. Integrated sling swivel studs offer immediate attachment points for slings, optimizing transport and field readiness.
Safety & Capacity
Operational safety is managed by a three-position safety mechanism, allowing for secure handling and mitigating accidental discharge. The rifle operates with a detachable magazine system, providing a 5+1 round capacity. This capacity is appropriate for diverse hunting scenarios and facilitates efficient magazine changes.
