The Howa M1500 Mini Action chambered in 6mm ARC (Howa part no. HMA6ARCSG) is built on a scaled-down receiver sized specifically for shorter cartridges like 6mm ARC, giving this Howa rifle a lighter, more compact footprint than a standard long-action build. The 22-inch black steel barrel is threaded for a suppressor and cold-hammer-forged for long-term accuracy and durability, rifled at a 1:7.5-inch twist to stabilize the longer, heavier bullets that make 6mm ARC effective at distance. A matte blue steel receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, and a fixed HTI green synthetic stock keeps the rifle light and weather-ready. A 3-position safety and 5+1 capacity round out a precision-focused, purpose-built mini-action rifle.
