The Howa M1500 HGP2270B delivers precision hunting performance with a factory-mounted Nikko Stirling GamePro scope package. This .270 Winchester rifle combines Howa's legendary two-stage HACT trigger system with premium components for consistent accuracy straight from the box.
What Makes This Different
The M1500 action features a forged one-piece bolt with dual opposing locking lugs that distribute stress evenly across the receiver. The cold hammer-forged barrel maintains concentricity better than button-rifled alternatives, contributing to sub-MOA potential. The included Nikko Stirling GamePro 4-12x40mm scope eliminates the need for separate optics purchases while providing reliable magnification for medium to long-range shots.
Key Features
- Two-stage HACT (Howa Actuated Control Technology) trigger adjustable from 3-5 pounds
- 22-inch cold hammer-forged blued steel barrel with 1:10 twist rate
- Stainless steel receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounting
- Hogue OverMolded synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces
- 5-round hinged floorplate magazine system
- Factory-mounted Nikko Stirling GamePro 4-12x40mm scope with rings
- Three-position safety located behind trigger guard
Field performance centers on the .270 Winchester's flat trajectory and energy retention at extended ranges. The 22-inch barrel optimizes velocity for 130-150 grain hunting bullets while maintaining maneuverability in dense cover. The Hogue stock provides secure grip in wet conditions and absorbs recoil effectively. The scope's 4-12x magnification range handles shots from timber hunting at 4x to open country precision at 12x magnification.
