Howa M1500 Standard Hunter 270 Win 22" Threaded Barrel Walnut Stock

The Howa M1500 Standard Hunter delivers consistent accuracy and reliability for hunters who demand precision without compromise. This bolt-action rifle combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing standards to create a hunting rifle that performs season after season. Built on Howa's proven M1500 action, this rifle offers exceptional value in the competitive hunting rifle market.

What Makes This Different

The M1500 Standard Hunter features Howa's two-stage HACT (Howa Actuated Control Technology) trigger system, delivering a crisp break typically between 3-4 pounds. The cold hammer-forged barrel provides superior accuracy and extended barrel life compared to button-rifled alternatives. The threaded muzzle accepts standard 5/8x24 accessories, allowing hunters to add suppressors or muzzle brakes without gunsmithing.

Key Features

• Cold hammer-forged 22-inch barrel with 5/8x24 threaded muzzle
• Two-stage HACT trigger system with 3-4 pound pull weight
• Hinged floorplate magazine holds 5 rounds of 270 Winchester
• American walnut stock with traditional Monte Carlo cheekpiece
• Integral scope bases machined into receiver for secure optic mounting
• Three-position safety located behind bolt handle
• Matte black finish on all metal components for reduced glare

Field performance centers around the rifle's sub-MOA accuracy potential with quality ammunition. The 270 Winchester caliber provides flat trajectory and excellent terminal performance on medium to large game at extended ranges. The walnut stock offers proper length of pull and drop dimensions for most shooters, while the rubber recoil pad manages the 270's recoil effectively. Weather-resistant finish protects against moisture and field conditions.
