Howa ATIM5R308 5-Round Detachable Magazine .308 Win Black Polymer

The Howa ATIM5R308 detachable magazine transforms the Howa 1500 bolt-action rifle from a fixed internal magazine system into a quick-reload platform. This factory-engineered magazine maintains the rifle's precision while adding tactical flexibility for hunters and competitive shooters who demand faster follow-up shots.

What Makes This Different

Unlike aftermarket magazines that may compromise feeding reliability, this factory Howa magazine integrates seamlessly with the 1500's action geometry. The polymer construction reduces weight by 40% compared to steel alternatives while maintaining dimensional stability across temperature extremes. Feed lips are reinforced with steel inserts to prevent deformation under repeated loading cycles.
