howa 1500 mini action

[newfie bullet]

I always wanted a 223 so i pulled the plug on a NIB Howa mini action 223 20" heavy barrel with the threaded mussel 1-8 twist. First Howa i've owned and first 223 so can't wait to see how she will shoot. Any other AO members shoot one of these?

Howa are the same actions as a Weatherby vanguard
I’ve had a couple of them and they have been great

The mini action is not the same. I had one it was OK and it is mini

I bought one of these last year from Prophit River in 222, great shooting rifle, and a bargain for a brand new rifle
