Howa M1500 HS Precision .308 Win 22" Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Howa M1500 HS Precision delivers sub-MOA accuracy potential in a production rifle built for precision shooting applications. This .308 Winchester variant combines Howa's proven two-lug action with HS Precision's renowned composite stock technology for consistent performance across temperature extremes.

What Makes This Different

The HS Precision stock features an aluminum bedding block that eliminates flex and maintains consistent barrel harmonics shot after shot. Unlike standard synthetic stocks, the gray-black webbed composite construction provides 40% greater rigidity while reducing overall weight by 8 ounces compared to traditional wood stocks. The threaded muzzle accepts standard 5/8x24 TPI suppressors and muzzle devices without modification.

Key Features

• 22-inch heavy contour barrel with 5/8x24 TPI threading for suppressor compatibility
• HS Precision composite stock with aluminum bedding block and textured grip surfaces
• Howa two-lug action with integral recoil lug and anti-bind bolt design
• HACT (Howa Actuated Control Technology) trigger adjustable from 3-5 pounds
• Hinged floorplate magazine system holds 5 rounds of .308 Winchester
• Black Cerakote metal finish provides corrosion resistance in harsh conditions
• Drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 scope base patterns

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, making this rifle suitable for precision hunting applications out to 600 yards. The 22-inch barrel length optimizes velocity for .308 Winchester cartridges while maintaining maneuverability in hunting situations. The composite stock remains dimensionally stable in temperature swings from -20°F to 120°F, eliminating point-of-impact shifts common with wood stocks.
