This Howa Legacy Mini goes small and short: a 20-inch barrel, .22 ARC chambering, and a black finish on a bolt-action platform built for compact handling. A 5/8x24 threaded muzzle lets a suppressor or other device go straight on, and the rifle cycles as a straightforward manual repeater with a manual safety for field use. The shorter setup targets small-caliber precision without the length of a full-size bolt gun.

Owners of the Howa Legacy Mini line generally praise the smooth bolt cycling and consistent build quality typical of Howa actions, calling the rifle dependable in the field. Since .22 ARC is a newer chambering, some note that ammunition selection is still more limited than with established calibers.

The compact profile and threaded muzzle make it popular with shooters who want to mount a suppressor, and the manual safety draws praise for being simple to operate under field conditions. A few owners wish the factory trigger broke a little lighter out of the box.

Buyers see the Legacy Mini as a solid entry point into the .22 ARC platform without a big premium over other small-caliber bolt guns. Some shooters mention that gunsmiths and aftermarket parts familiar with the newer chambering can be harder to find than for more established Howa calibers.
