Howa M1500 Hera 308 Win 24" Carbon Fiber Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Howa M1500 Hera delivers precision long-range performance in a lightweight package that outperforms traditional steel-barreled rifles. This 308 Winchester configuration combines Howa's proven two-lug bolt action with advanced carbon fiber barrel technology and the tactical versatility of the Hera H7 chassis system.

What Makes This Different

The carbon fiber barrel construction reduces overall weight by approximately 1.5 pounds compared to steel barrels while maintaining superior heat dissipation and vibration dampening. The Hera H7 chassis stock provides infinite length-of-pull adjustment and accepts standard AR-15 pistol grips and buttstocks. This modular approach allows shooters to customize ergonomics without permanent modifications to the rifle.

Key Features

• 24-inch carbon fiber wrapped barrel with 5/8x24 threading for suppressors and muzzle devices
• Hera H7 chassis stock in OD Green and Black with adjustable length of pull and cheek riser
• Two-stage HACT (Howa Actuated Control Technology) trigger system
• 5+1 round capacity with detachable box magazine
• Integral Picatinny rail machined into the receiver for optics mounting
• Cold hammer forged barrel with 1:10 twist rate optimized for 150-180 grain bullets

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy with quality match ammunition, while the carbon fiber barrel maintains precision during extended shooting sessions. The 308 Winchester chambering handles everything from 150-grain hunting loads to 175-grain match bullets effectively. Weather-resistant coating on all metal surfaces provides corrosion protection in adverse conditions.
