    Definitely try and handle one first before laying out the $$$. I tried one on a mates 16" barrelled Tikka. Initial thoughts were, that's heavy for a small rifle and I also didn't like the very squarish foreend. Alright if just running a bipod or resting on a bag but not the most comfortable to hold onto.

    As an aside, look into the reliabilty of the howa mini mags. My .223 has started to misfeed the last round. Bolt slips over the base of the case and catches half way down the case. Rifles done 120 rounds. Never had an issue with the 1400 rounds I put through the 7.62x39 version. Maybe its just my mag but a quick google has brought up similar issues.
