I'd like to know how the mini Howa compares to the old Sako Vixen? That's one I'd like to get my hands on, but they're a tad spendy..... BT53
Howa Mini on the left, Vixen on the right.
The Howa Mini is pretty slick, but it is no Vixen. They got the action right, but the rest of the rifle doesn't match with the miniaturized action. When you handle a Vixen, everything is svelte. The stock, the barrel contour, the bottom metal. They're truly slick.
That said, I am really loving the Howa Mini so far. For $329.00 I don't see how you can go wrong.
