The Howa Mini Action Youth rifle in 6mm ARC (brand part no. HMA6ARCGYTH) scales the accurate Howa 1500 action down for a smaller-framed or younger shooter without sacrificing build quality. Howa builds every Mini Action rifle to exacting tolerances with a cold hammer-forged barrel and a precision-fit bolt and firing pin, and this Youth model carries that same construction into a lighter, shorter package. The fixed HTI Green synthetic stock stands out from typical black or camo finishes, and the 6mm ARC cartridge gives a young shooter genuine long-range performance in a rifle sized to actually fit them. A 22-inch black steel threaded barrel is ready for a suppressor as the shooter advances.
