The Howa Model 1500 rifle is engineered for precision and reliability, making it an excellent choice for hunters and target shooters in New Zealand and worldwide. This robust centrefire rifle features a durable stainless steel finish and a distinctive green synthetic stock, designed for ergonomic comfort and consistent performance in various outdoor conditions.

At the heart of the Howa 1500 is a meticulously crafted bolt action, based on an early Sako design. It incorporates a one-piece forged bolt and an easy-to-strip firing pin assembly for straightforward maintenance. The flat-bottom action ensures superior bedding, complemented by an integral recoil lug that effectively manages recoil forces.

The Howa 1500 is equipped with the renowned HACT (Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger) two-stage trigger system, providing a crisp and predictable pull that enhances accuracy. A three-position safety allows for secure handling, enabling the bolt to be opened and unloaded while the rifle remains on safe.
