The Howa M1500 Mini Hunter in 6mm ARC delivers precision shooting performance in a compact, lightweight platform designed for hunters who demand accuracy without excess weight. This rifle combines Howa's proven two-lug bolt action with the versatile 6mm ARC cartridge for exceptional long-range capability in a manageable package.
What Makes This Different
