Product Overview
The Howa M1500 Super Deluxe is a robust bolt-action rifle engineered for consistent precision and reliability. This full-size offering integrates premium materials and meticulous manufacturing processes to deliver dependable field performance. The platform is designed for shooters who require consistent accuracy and durability in a traditional, yet technically advanced, package.
Key Features
Precision Performance
This M1500 Super Deluxe variant is backed by the manufacturer’s SUB MOA guarantee for 3-shot groups at 100 yards when utilizing premium factory ammunition. This assurance confirms the rifle’s inherent accuracy potential, making it suitable for demanding competitive or hunting applications.
Construction and Ergonomics
The rifle features a high-grade Turkish Walnut fixed stock, enhanced with forend and grip caps for refined aesthetics and improved handling. The 22-inch stainless steel barrel is threaded, allowing for direct suppressor or muzzle device integration without modification. A drilled and tapped stainless steel receiver provides a secure mounting interface for optics.
Bolt and Action Integrity
The M1500 action incorporates a machined receiver and a forged bolt, engineered for consistent lockup and reliable cycling. The bolt features a large internal handle for positive manipulation and integrated pressure vent holes to mitigate gas redirection in the event of a catastrophic primer or case failure. Bolt faces are precision-machined to be true and square to the chamber, optimizing cartridge alignment and ignition consistency. Field-stripping is simplified by tool-less firing pin removal.
Trigger System and Safety
A Two Stage Match trigger provides a crisp, predictable break, enhancing shot placement precision. The integrated 3 Position Safety offers comprehensive control: a forward-most position for firing, a mid-position that locks the firing pin while allowing bolt manipulation for safe unloading, and a rear-most position that locks both the firing pin and bolt.
