Thread: Howa Launching New Mini Action

looks to be just a shorter version of their short action receiver and not a reduced receiver diameter, so not much point.

The benefit of a "mini" sized action comes from the smaller receiver diameter enabling "improved" feeding for 223 boltface cartridges. Ever tried single feeding a 223 in a Rem 700, Tikka? PITA they just dont work! you have to poke the projectile into the chamber or they stop dead on barrel end!
