The Howa M1500 HS Precision delivers sub-MOA accuracy potential in a platform built for serious long-range shooting. This precision rifle combines Howa's renowned two-stage HACT trigger system with HS Precision's proven synthetic stock technology to create a reliable hunting and target rifle.
What Makes This Different
The HS Precision synthetic stock features an aluminum bedding block that provides consistent barrel harmonics and eliminates the flexing common in standard hunting stocks. The green finish with black webbing pattern offers effective camouflage while the fiberglass construction weighs significantly less than comparable wood stocks. Howa's cold hammer-forged barrel maintains consistent accuracy across temperature changes and extended shooting sessions.
Key Features
- Two-stage HACT (Howa Actuated Control Trigger) adjustable from 3-5 pounds
- 22-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:10 twist rate optimized for 30-06 Springfield
- HS Precision fiberglass stock with aluminum bedding block for consistent accuracy
- 5+1 capacity with hinged floorplate magazine system
- Black Cerakote finish on steel receiver and barrel for corrosion resistance
- Drilled and tapped for scope mounts with 20 MOA Picatinny rail compatibility
- Three-position safety located behind trigger guard
Field testing consistently shows this rifle capable of sub-MOA groups with quality ammunition. The 30-06 Springfield chambering handles everything from 150-grain deer loads to 180-grain elk cartridges with equal precision. The synthetic stock remains dimensionally stable in wet conditions and temperature extremes where wood stocks would shift point of impact. The HACT trigger breaks cleanly with minimal overtravel, contributing to the rifle's inherent accuracy potential.
