I have the Howa mini action .223 and it is a tack driver. Only wish I had got the 6.5 Grendel instead to give me a bit longer legs. Other than cartridge choice, I struggle with how good the Howa is considering the short barrel (20”). Also has a (you either love it or hate it) two stage trigger, which I find just fine. It is a lot of rifle for the $$$’s but it does weigh more than a tika or rem.
