The Howa M1500 Mini Action delivers precision rifle performance in the versatile 7.62x39mm caliber, combining Japanese manufacturing quality with a complete optics-ready package. This full-size rifle features a heavy barrel profile for enhanced accuracy and comes factory-equipped with a Nikko Stirling GamePro 4-12x40mm scope.

What Makes This Different

Howa's Mini Action utilizes a scaled-down receiver specifically engineered for intermediate cartridges like 7.62x39mm, resulting in a lighter, more compact platform than traditional long-action rifles. The heavy barrel profile measures 0.75 inches at the muzzle, providing superior heat dissipation and shot-to-shot consistency compared to standard hunting barrels. The two-stage HACT trigger system breaks cleanly at 3-4 pounds with minimal overtravel.

Key Features

  • 20-inch heavy barrel with 1:10 twist rate optimized for 7.62x39mm ballistics
  • Drilled and tapped steel receiver with integral recoil lug and scope bases
  • HTI synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces and aluminum bedding block
  • 5-round detachable magazine with steel construction
  • Factory-mounted Nikko Stirling GamePro 4-12x40mm scope with multi-coated lenses
  • Three-position safety located behind trigger guard for intuitive operation
  • Cold hammer-forged barrel with button rifling for consistent bore dimensions
Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential with quality ammunition, making this rifle suitable for varmint hunting, target shooting, and medium-range precision applications. The 7.62x39mm cartridge provides effective performance on game up to deer size while maintaining manageable recoil. Weather-resistant finishes on both metal and synthetic components ensure reliable function in adverse conditions.
