Howa 1500 Mini Action Youth 6mm ARC 22" Threaded Rifle Green Stock

The Howa 1500 Mini Action Youth in 6mm ARC delivers full-power rifle performance in a compact platform designed for smaller-framed shooters. This rifle combines the proven Howa 1500 action with modern cartridge technology and youth-specific dimensions. The 6mm ARC cartridge provides excellent ballistics for hunting medium game while maintaining manageable recoil.

What Makes This Different

The Mini Action design reduces overall length and weight compared to standard rifles while maintaining full rifle capabilities. The 6mm ARC cartridge offers superior ballistic performance over traditional youth cartridges like .243 Winchester, with less powder consumption and reduced recoil. The threaded barrel accepts suppressors or muzzle devices for customization. This rifle bridges the gap between youth starter rifles and full-size hunting rifles.

Key Features

• 6mm ARC chambering for excellent long-range ballistics with moderate recoil
• 22-inch cold hammer forged steel barrel with 5/8x24 threading
• Mini Action receiver reduces weight and overall length for youth shooters
• HTI (Hogue Technical Industries) synthetic stock in tactical green finish
• Two-stage HACT (Howa Actuated Controlled Trigger) system
• Drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard scope mounts
• Three-position safety located behind trigger guard

Field performance centers on the 6mm ARC's ability to maintain velocity and energy at extended ranges while producing less felt recoil than larger cartridges. The cartridge excels in hunting applications for deer-sized game out to 400 yards. The threaded barrel allows suppressor use for hearing protection and reduced noise signature. The synthetic stock resists weather and provides consistent performance across temperature ranges.
