Key Features
Precision Engineering
- **Howa Mini Action:** A purpose-built, scaled-down version of the renowned Howa 1500 action, featuring an integral recoil lug and a flat-bottom receiver for enhanced rigidity and consistent shot placement. This design optimizes cycling for shorter cartridges like the .223 Remington, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.
- **Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel:** The 22-inch cold hammer-forged barrel ensures exceptional bore uniformity and sustained accuracy over its service life. The manufacturing process mitigates internal stress, contributing to the barrel’s inherent precision.
- **Threaded Muzzle:** The barrel features a threaded muzzle, facilitating the direct integration of muzzle devices such as suppressors or compensators, augmenting the rifle’s utility in various shooting scenarios.
- **Caliber Optimization:** Chambered in .223 Remington, this rifle provides a flat-shooting trajectory and ample terminal performance for its intended applications, while benefiting from the widespread availability and economic efficiency of the cartridge.
Ergonomics & Durability
- **Wood Stock:** A traditional wood stock provides a stable and aesthetically pleasing platform. Its robust construction resists deformation, maintaining zero under field conditions, while offering a comfortable and positive grip.
- **Blued Finish:** All major steel components feature a durable blued finish, which provides effective corrosion resistance and a non-reflective surface, suitable for both range and field environments.
Reliability & Functionality
- **HACT Two-Stage Trigger:** The Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger (HACT) two-stage system is factory-calibrated to deliver a crisp, predictable break, significantly contributing to shot placement consistency. Its design allows for precise engagement without creep.
- **Three-Position Safety:** A three-position safety mechanism provides secure firearm handling, allowing the bolt to be locked, preventing accidental discharge, or permitting unloading with the safety engaged.
- **Detachable Box Magazine:** The rifle utilizes a reliable detachable box magazine, facilitating rapid and efficient reloading while simplifying the process of unloading the firearm.
- **Optic Integration:** The receiver is drilled and tapped, prepared for direct attachment of industry-standard scope mounts, ensuring a secure and stable interface for optical sighting systems.
