The .22 ARC cartridge was practically made for a platform like this. Howa's Mini Action is scaled down about 12 percent from a standard short action, so the bolt throw is shorter, cycling is quicker, and there's no wasted receiver length hanging off a compact cartridge. Chamber it in .22 ARC with a 1:7 twist barrel and you've got a rifle that stabilizes heavy, high-BC bullets like 75 to 88 grain match loads, which is exactly where this cartridge earns its keep on coyotes, prairie dogs, and steel way out past where older .22 centerfires start running out of gas.
The 22 inch cold hammer forged barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 from the factory, so adding a suppressor or muzzle brake takes minutes, not a trip to the gunsmith. Recoil in .22 ARC is mild to begin with, and suppressed it turns into one of the most pleasant centerfire setups you can carry into a dog town. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and with no iron sights on board, the barrel stays clean for whatever glass you want to run. Feeding comes from a 5-round detachable magazine, and Howa's three-position safety lets you lock the bolt down or cycle rounds safely with the trigger blocked.
Howa ships this rifle with their HACT two-stage trigger, and it's a genuine standout at this price point. The first stage takes up light and the break is clean, which makes wringing out the accuracy this barrel is capable of a whole lot easier. The black synthetic stock keeps weight down around six pounds bare, shrugs off weather, and includes sling swivel studs for field carry.
Howa built its reputation on barreled actions accurate enough that other manufacturers put their own names on them. This one gives you that same Japanese machining in a trim, quick-handling package chambered for one of the most capable .22 centerfires going. If you've been waiting for a factory bolt gun in .22 ARC that doesn't need a pile of upgrades out of the box, this is a strong place to start.
No, this model ships without iron sights or optics. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, so you'll want to pick up mounts and glass to complete the setup. A 3-9x or higher magnification scope pairs nicely with the flat-shooting .22 ARC.
Yes. The 22 inch barrel is factory threaded 1/2×28, which is the most common thread pitch for .22 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. Just remove the thread protector and spin on your can or brake.
The .22 ARC is a modern .22 centerfire designed to launch heavy, high-BC bullets in the 62 to 88 grain range. With this rifle's 1:7 twist barrel, it stabilizes those long match-style bullets with ease, making it a great pick for coyotes, varmints, and long-range steel with very light recoil.
Howa's Mini Action receiver, chamber, and bolt are roughly 12 percent shorter than a typical short action. That means a shorter bolt throw for faster cycling, less overall weight, and a receiver properly sized for compact cartridges like the .22 ARC instead of leaving dead space in the action.
