Thread: Howa Launching New Mini Action

Looks very promising, take a bit of weight off fra dedicated varminter.
Can see it being used for some 300BLK builds!

Legacy Sports - Howa Kryptek Mini Action Rifle

That could be very nice. 300blk or 7.62x39, good on Howa. The CZ mini actions are great in .223 and 7.62x39, just wished they did a 300blk aswell. Very smooth and fast the CZ carbines.

if only they did a left hand one

Damn, already have a 223 Howa, the rifle is set up quite well still for the shorter round,

Just been thinking about it, 7.62x39 necked down to 6.5 or 7mm and improved, anyone hazard a guess what performance you would get?

Bolt rifle for dedicated handloaders

This?

Good work tobes, but square that shoulder right up, probably been done, in fact sure it would have!

I'm quite liking this build the guys doing, still slowly reading through but seems cool, he's a NZ'er too I wonder if he's on this forum

Hmmm - very interesting, I wonder if we will get barreled actions here in NZ like they did the mediums.

Are these available in NZ yet?

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!

AR mags are fucking dreadful

The worst part of the design by far, if a stretchy plastic mag for the design is treated as the second coming you know there is a issue!
