    the Howa mini's are awesome. I have the 223 for small game up to & including deer (if they walk out), a 6.5 Grendel for goats & deer, the a 7.62 x 39 for pigs, goats & deer. the best results with the Grendel was a red hind @ 120yds behind the shoulders with a 95gnhp & she just took a couple of steps & folded. The x39's taken deer, pigs & goats with ease out to 200yds (with good rest). The 223 does the small stuff & all are light & very accurate. i cut back the mag release as I lost my mag on 3 occasions but managed to back track & find it. Just hold the release back with your thumb nail to be vertical, Cut it flush with some side cutter pliers, release, & tidy up with a fine file.....about 3 minutes work & looks like the release on the latest ones.
    Highly recommend them, very good value for money to the extent I went & bought a 308 Model 1500 for the longer shots.
