The Howa/Axiom uses a cam and spring absorber in the pistol grip & another heavy spring in the stock tube. Both systems are separate units from the forend, allowing the stock to absorb recoil on impact. The Howa M-1500 offers as standard, many features found in much more expensive rifles, like a forged receiver and a forged, one-piece bolt, that are both ported for safety, a three position safety, a one-piece guard and a magazine box with hinged floor plate. The bolt also features two locking lugs and an M-16 style extractor.

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.
