Howa M1500 Standard Hunter 308 Win 22" Threaded Barrel Walnut

The Howa M1500 Standard Hunter delivers proven bolt-action reliability in 308 Winchester with a precision-threaded barrel for suppressor compatibility. This rifle combines traditional walnut aesthetics with modern manufacturing precision for hunters demanding accuracy and versatility.

What Makes This Different

The M1500 action features a two-lug bolt design with a 60-degree throw for smooth cycling and positive lockup. Unlike many budget hunting rifles, the barrel comes factory-threaded at 5/8x24 TPI, eliminating the need for aftermarket modifications when adding muzzle devices or suppressors. The HACT (Howa Actuated Controlled Trigger) system provides a crisp, adjustable trigger pull from 3-5 pounds.
