The Howa M1500 Mini Action chambered in 6mm ARC (Howa part no. HMXL6ARCB) scales the M1500 receiver down specifically for shorter cartridges, giving this Howa rifle a lighter, more compact footprint than a standard long action. The 20-inch barrel is rifled at a 1:8-inch twist to stabilize the longer, heavier bullets that make 6mm ARC effective at distance, and a black synthetic stock adjusts to fit the shooter. Rather than a detachable box magazine, the rifle feeds 5 rounds through the action directly, keeping the mini-action platform simple and light.
