Howa 1500 Mini Action Youth | 6mm ARC | 20″ Barrel

The Howa 1500 Mini Action Youth is a compact bolt-action rifle built on Howa’s Mini Action platform and chambered in 6mm ARC. It features a heavy threaded 20″ barrel, a drilled and tapped steel receiver, and a fixed Green HTI synthetic stock intended for smaller shooters or compact handling. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 as a reliable, cost-effective choice for general-purpose shooting.

Appropriate uses include precision target work at moderate ranges and varmint or small/medium game hunting where a compact, lightweight rifle benefits mobility and shot placement.
