Howa Rifle 1500 243 Winchester 22" Barrel Hogue Stock Bolt Action

The duo that started it all – the Howa barreled action and the Hogue Overmolded® rifle stock. Now, this configuration is the backbone of the Howa rifle line in 2010. Howa M-1500 rifles are well known in the shooting community for their accuracy and ability to hold up under the toughest of conditions. Add to that the Hogue Overmolded® stock features a comfortable, soft grip to reduce shooting fatigue and still provides a positive grip surface in all weather conditions. The Hogue stock will not harden with age, and is impervious to gun solvents and gun oils. It is built with a fiberglass reinforced skeleton and pillar bedding for strength and accuracy, allowing the barrel to free-float. The stock also has a varminter style forend, built-in swivel studs and a famous Hogue recoil pad. With the Howa/Hogue you have a great shooter, combining supreme accuracy and safety with comfort and great handling, right off the shelf!

Target quality H.A.C.T. 2-stage trigger breaks crisp with no creep.

The M-1500 action is made in Japan by Howa who also makes many rifle components for several US gun companies. Howa is the only big bore rifle manufacturer in Japan.

The Howa M-1500 action is the current action found in the new Weatherby Vanguard rifles.
