Key Features
Howa 1500 Action
At the core of this system is the Howa 1500 bolt action, renowned for its strength and reliability. Featuring an M-16 style extractor for positive case extraction and an integral recoil lug, the one-piece forged bolt is designed for consistent lockup and extended service life. The action’s robust construction ensures dependable operation and provides a rigid foundation for precision.
Hogue OverMolded Stock
The rifle is equipped with a Hogue OverMolded synthetic stock, finished in black. This stock features a durable, non-slip rubberized surface that enhances grip and reduces felt recoil. The aluminum pillar bedding system within the stock ensures the action is consistently seated, mitigating flex and contributing directly to repeatable accuracy. Its weather-resistant properties maintain performance in diverse environmental conditions.
Heavy Profile Barrel
A 22-inch heavy-profile barrel, cold hammer-forged for material integrity, is critical for the rifle’s precision capabilities. This barrel profile increases rigidity and thermal mass, which minimizes barrel harmonics and mitigates point of impact shifts during extended firing sequences. The increased stability of the heavy barrel contributes to a tighter shot group average.
HACT Two-Stage Trigger System
The Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger (HACT) is a two-stage match-grade trigger designed for a crisp, clean break. This precision trigger system allows for a consistent and predictable pull, directly enhancing the shooter’s ability to execute precise shot placement without introducing unwanted movement or disruption.
Precision Guarantee
Backed by the manufacturer’s SUB-MOA guarantee at 100 yards with premium ammunition, this rifle demonstrates a verifiable commitment to precision performance directly from the factory.
