The Howa Model 1500 is a precision-crafted centrefire rifle, renowned for its reliability, accuracy, and exceptional value, making it ideal for both hunting and target shooting enthusiasts. Built on an early model Sako action, it features a one-piece forged bolt and an easy-to-strip firing pin assembly for convenient cleaning. The flat-bottom action enhances bedding stability, while the integral recoil lug ensures optimal performance during firing, contributing to its consistent sub-MOA accuracy.

This rifle is equipped with a 22" barrel, a threaded 1/2-28 muzzle, and the highly acclaimed two-stage HACT trigger system, delivering a crisp, clean break for improved shooting accuracy. Safety is paramount with a versatile three-position safety that allows the bolt to be opened and the chamber unloaded while the firearm remains on "safe".

This Howa Model 1500 features a Hogue pillar bedded OverMolded stock, providing a superior ergonomic fit and enhancing both function and accuracy with its comfortable grip. The combination of the high-precision Howa 1500 action and its robust synthetic stock creates a lightweight, dependable rifle suitable for sporting, hunting, and entry-level match shooting.

This Howa 1500 Short Action rifle can be modified to feature a shorter stock (available in black), which adjusts the length of pull from 15 1/3" (39cm) to 13 3/4" (35cm).
