Howa mini action and rapid fire

[Blue72]

Can anyone who owns these rifles, tell me how it performs under rapid fire. I made enough mistakes in the past with rifles that stick or bind when run quickly. Thanks in advance

They’re nice actions but the petite size makes them not very fast. Small and short bolt handle which ends up very near the ocular of the scope. Also has a somewhat heavy cocking effort.

I have two of them, both with aftermarket bolt knobs, and I find them to be pretty smooth... and with the short bolt stroke, they're plenty fast. Feeding (.223 Rem, 7.62x39) is nice out of the factory mags.

Factory trigger can be adjusted down to ~1.5 pounds by cutting about 1.5 coils off the trigger preload spring.

Thanks for the response, I think I’ll go with a Tikka
