Howa Superlite

[dkynoch]

This new rifle from Howa might be pretty cool. 4.7 lbs. Has anyone had any first hand experience with one? Or handled one?

I would be all in if it weren't for that 2-stage trigger. I hate them. I have never understood how adding reliable creep to a trigger became a good thing.

My Howa Mini has a two stage trigger that has what I’d call take up, not creep. It is the newer HACT I believe they call it. Anyway, the first stage is really slack to get to what then becomes a pretty serviceable single stage. I’d recommend dry firing one to see how you like it. Actual trigger creep is bad juju, take up as a first stage is fine if it finishes with a good breaking second stage, imho anyway.

Tmac, I fully understand the difference between a single stage and two stage triggers. Two stage triggers came about in military applications to help reduce unintentional discharges by adding "take up" (i.e. the first stage). For those of us used to a good single stage trigger and who know well enough to keep our booger hooks off of the bang switch until we are ready to fire, the first stage is nothing more than trigger creep and putting them on a bolt rifle is stupid.

Any idea when these are going to hit the shelf? Timney’s are pretty cheap to rectify the trigger issue.

I'd be interested in one as well. I replaced my other Howa trigger , it wasn't great at all.

I like the Howa trigger! It might take a bit of getting used to but it’s much better than most factory guns.

I handled at howa mini carbon stalker at the gun shop the other day it it was incredibly handy. I’ve read they will be releasing them in 6mm ARC and I will be getting one.

Would be nice if they made it in a left handed model.

I’ve been waiting to see some feedback on this rifle as well. I definitely wouldn’t mind picking one up. Is this rifle not available yet? Or? Haven’t seen it in stores yet.

Pick mine up tomorrow…stand by.

First impression, awesome! Very light, great trigger, great fit and finish. Getting it Cerakoted next week and getting some glass on it soon. Will update once I shoot it.

Is that a hinged floor plate? That would be nice.

No, removable 4 round mag

No, removable 4 round mag

well, at least it's flush.

An aluminum or carbon floor plate would have been the bees knees
