Most Helpful Positive Review Much better than factory
This trigger is excellent. Install is easy. Adjustments are easy. I can't stand the factory Howa trigger, this replacement makes the gun so much better. I don't know if it's better than the Timney option, but I know for sure it's cheaper and it's awesome.

by Thomas Steffes, Verified Owner from KY, United States Written on March 13, 2026
I have 2 Howa Rifles The last one is a mini action I worked on the triggers of both of them spring kits polishing all the normal things you do to improve a trigger I'm not going to rehash all the issues with them but they were never going to be what I consider acceptable I bought a jared was not satisfied with it sent it back I just installed the rifle basics 12oz-1.5lbs fantastic 12oz crisp break could not be more pleased price is right free shipping what more could you ask for very pleased

Perfect Howa Mini trigger

by Hugh, Verified Owner from ID, United States Written on January 10, 2026
There aren’t many trigger upgrade options for Howa Mini action rifles. I tried a Jard and didn’t like it. This one was exactly what I was looking for.

Not for hunting, IMO...

by Scott D, from OH, United States Written on August 20, 2025
I thought that it was adjustable as the pull weight was listed as 12oz thru 1.5lb. I wanted to set it to the max. It came preset at 15 oz with instructions to not "tamper with any screws whatsoever". A great trigger for benchrest shooting, but I wouldn't recommend it for hunting. If I squeeze the trigger with the safety on, it will hold, but the moment you push the safety forward-the action fires. I wish I would have gotten the 1.5 - 4lb, but of course I have no way of knowing what weight the trigger would come preset with. I searched "adjustable triggers" in the OP menu and these Rifle Basix" triggers came up.

great trigger

by salecreek-rs, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on July 6, 2024
Crisp and clean breaking trigger.
This trigger is only a 2 position safety.
I prefer a 3 position safety like the factory trigger.
Had I known the safety only had 2 position I would not bought this trigger, personal preference.
Optics Planet should make this clear in the description.
Pros:
  • Great Trigger
Cons:
  • not 3 position safety
Best Used for:
  • hunting
