This comprehensive package combines the precision of the Howa 1500 rifle with a Vortex Diamondback riflescope and a Nielsen Sonic suppressor, offering a versatile setup for hunting and sporting enthusiasts.

The Howa 1500 rifle is engineered with an early model Sako action, featuring a robust one-piece forged bolt and an easily removable firing pin assembly for simple cleaning. Its flat-bottom action is designed for superior bedding, while an integral recoil lug efficiently manages trunnion pull. Ideal for both hunting and target shooting, this rifle is equipped with a crisp two-stage HACT trigger and a three-position safety, allowing the bolt to be operated even when the safety is engaged. The Howa 1500 boasts a cold hammer-forged barrel and a durable steel forged bolt and receiver, ensuring consistent reliability and accuracy in various outdoor conditions. This particular rifle features a 16" threaded barrel and is complemented by a classic walnut stock.

The Vortex Diamondback riflescope is built with a solid one-piece aircraft-grade aluminium alloy construction, making it exceptionally durable and highly resistant to magnum recoil. Argon purging ensures reliable waterproof and fogproof performance in challenging environments. Its advanced fully multi-coated optics deliver crystal clear, tack-sharp images, providing excellent clarity for precise shot placement.

The Nielsen Sonic Suppressor is engineered to withstand demanding New Zealand hunting and sport shooting conditions, offering exceptional value and performance. Manufactured in Denmark by Nielsen Gun Parts, this suppressor is a popular choice among hunters and pest controllers due to its robust, modular design and ability to handle high rates of fire and heavy magnum calibres.

Its hybrid construction features an outer body and baffles precision-machined from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminium, while the core of every baffle includes a stainless steel insert. This steel core effectively withstands the extreme heat and abrasive unburnt powder from the muzzle, ensuring longevity and consistent sound reduction even under heavy use. The Nielsen Sonic is designed as an over-barrel system, with the expansion chamber extending backwards over your rifle barrel. This design significantly reduces the overall length added to your firearm, keeping the centre of gravity closer to your leading hand and improving off-hand balance and manoeuvrability in dense outdoor environments.

The Nielsen Sonic is completely modular, allowing you to easily unscrew and remove individual baffles to shorten and lighten the suppressor for extended excursions, or add extra baffles for enhanced sound reduction when shooting from a stationary position. This modularity provides versatility for various shooting scenarios.

• Stainless Steel Inserts: Every baffle features a stainless steel core to prevent gas erosion, extending the suppressor's life under heavy firing schedules or magnum pressures.
• Modular Baffle System: The threaded baffle stack allows for customisation, balancing desired sound reduction against the overall length and weight of your rifle.
• Over-Barrel Design: Minimises added length to your firearm, improving off-hand balance and manoeuvrability in challenging outdoor environments.
• Exceptional Value: Premium European engineering combined with extreme durability for serious outdoor enthusiasts.
• Included Tools: Comes with a specialised C-spanner wrench for easy baffle dismantling, cleaning, and maintenance.
• Customisable Rear Bush: Includes a plastic rear isolation bushing that can be filed or machined to perfectly match your specific barrel contour for a tailored fit.
