Key Features
Howa 1500 Barreled Action
The foundation of this rifle is the Howa 1500 action, recognized for its inherent strength and precision manufacturing. It features a one-piece, fluted bolt with two locking lugs, ensuring secure lock-up and smooth cycling. An M16-style extractor provides positive case extraction under varied conditions. The integral recoil lug, machined directly into the receiver, optimizes stability and mitigates receiver flex, which contributes to repeatable accuracy. The rifle is equipped with the Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger (HACT) 2-stage match trigger, offering a crisp, predictable break, essential for precision shot placement. A three-position safety allows for safe handling, including bolt lock and unloaded carrying.
Hogue OverMolded Stock
The rifle is outfitted with a Hogue OverMolded stock in black. This stock is constructed from a durable, fiberglass-reinforced polymer, then permanently bonded with a soft, non-slip rubber outer layer. This design provides a secure and comfortable interface for the shooter, enhancing control and reducing felt recoil. The stock incorporates a full aluminum pillar bedding block, ensuring a stable and consistent mating surface for the barreled action, which is critical for maintaining accuracy over time.
Barrel Configuration
This model features a 22-inch blued steel barrel, optimized for the .270 Winchester cartridge. The barrel contour is designed to balance maneuverability with sustained accuracy. The .270 Winchester caliber is a versatile, flat-shooting cartridge, suitable for a wide range of medium to large game, offering effective terminal performance for hunting applications.
