Howa Mini 223 First Thoughts - 07/22/16
Well a while back there were some locations selling the Howa Mini in the $300. Buy the time I tried to buy I was told they wee no longer available for that price. GunBroker was listing ones for sale all the way up to the $700s.
Found a green 22" .223 listed for $349. Made a bid and bought it.
Fit and finish ere good. Trigger broke at around 3.5# with very little creep.
Installed a scope and ran a couple patches through the barrel and went to sight it in. First 3 surplus FMC grouped just over 1MOA.
(about the same as my match grade RRA)
Adjusted the scope and repeated the group.
Switched to loads for my RRA and 2 different loads both around .75" and less than an inch apart. Not bad for a factory barrel with about 20 rounds through it. :dancing:
Now just need to track down another plastic mag. Houston we have a keeper.
Anyone have or know where I can pick up an extra Howa Mini 223 Mag
