Howa Fence Line Mini Action 6.5Gren 22 Mb Hti Prair

The Howa Fence Line Mini Action in 6.5 Grendel with a 22-inch barrel and muzzle brake is a compact, hard-hitting rifle built on the legendary Howa 1500 action—a platform that's earned its reputation for dependable accuracy and field-proven reliability since 1979. This Mini Action configuration pairs Howa's cold hammer-forged barrel with a lightweight, practical design that suits hunters working prairie country, brush, and tight timber where a handy rifle outperforms a full-size setup. At its core is the HACT two-stage trigger, a 90-degree bolt throw for smooth cycling, M16-style extractor, and a three-position safety that lets you unload while on safe or lock the bolt for secure transport. The 6.5 Grendel delivers serious downrange energy in an intermediate package—capable, efficient, and becoming a favorite among hunters who value flat trajectory and terminal performance without magnum recoil.

The Fence Line Series strips away unnecessary frills and passes the savings to you without compromising the accuracy Howa is known for. The included muzzle brake tames recoil and can accommodate a suppressor if you thread one on, giving you flexibility for your setup. The threaded, hammer-forged barrel is engineered for durability and long barrel life, while the detachable magazine (Mini Action specific) keeps reloads swift in the field. The machined receiver and forged bolt are built to exacting headspace tolerances and true, square bolt faces—details that add up to sub-MOA accuracy with quality factory ammunition.

Whether you're taking shots across open prairie, navigating thick cover, or simply want a rifle that handles like it means business, the Howa Fence Line Mini Action in 6.5 Grendel delivers precision, reliability, and honest value. Backed by a 100% lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects, this is a rifle engineered to last and perform when it counts.
