Howa 1500 Mini Action 6mm ARC 20" Carbon Fiber Threaded Rifle

The Howa 1500 Mini Action in 6mm ARC delivers precision shooting performance in a compact, lightweight platform optimized for modern hunting and long-range applications. This rifle combines Howa's proven Mini Action with advanced materials and thoughtful engineering to create a versatile firearm that excels across multiple shooting disciplines.

What Makes This Different

The Mini Action design provides a shorter bolt throw and faster cycling compared to standard long actions, while the 6mm ARC chambering offers superior ballistic performance over traditional cartridges like .223 Remington. The carbon fiber barrel construction reduces overall weight by approximately 1.5 pounds while maintaining the stiffness and heat dissipation properties critical for consistent accuracy. The HTI (Hogue Technical Integration) synthetic stock features an ergonomic design with improved grip texturing and a rigid bedding system.

Key Features

• 20-inch black carbon fiber barrel with 5/8x24 threading for suppressor compatibility
• Mini Action receiver with 2.26-inch action length for faster bolt manipulation
• HTI Green synthetic stock with aluminum bedding block and textured grip surfaces
• Two-stage HACT (Howa Actuated Control Technology) trigger system
• Drilled and tapped steel receiver accepts standard scope mounts
• Three-position safety located behind the trigger guard
• Detachable magazine system with flush-fit design

Field performance centers on the 6mm ARC's ability to maintain supersonic velocity beyond 1,000 yards while generating less recoil than larger calibers. The carbon fiber barrel maintains consistent point of impact through temperature changes and extended shooting sessions. Hunters appreciate the rifle's 6.8-pound weight for mountain hunting, while precision shooters benefit from the inherent accuracy potential of the Mini Action's rigid platform.
