All Howa Rifles are equipped with outstanding technical features and innovations. 2-Stage HACT Trigger features a creep-free, crisp light trigger pull and consistent let-off.

Our factory barrels are cold hammer forged steel and are chambered symmetrically at the center of the axis with head space set to stringent and exacting specs. Bolt faces are true and square to the chamber. Stocks: Howa rifles are equipped with the best stocks in the industry for form, fit, function, and value. History The M1500 followed the Howa Golden Bear hunting rifle that Howa Industries previously manufactured. Howa used the Weatherby Mark V, which was manufactured by Howa Industries on an OEM basis, as the reference. However, whereas Mark V's bolt opening/closing angle is 54 degrees, the M1500 uses the more general 90-degree opening/closing angle. The M1500 is one of three large-calibre bolt-action rifles produced in Japan, and is sold as Howa's representative rifle not only in Japan, but throughout the world. The others are the Browning AB3 and X-Bolt platforms, produced by Miroku, located in Kochi, Japan. The rifle has a Mauser-type one-piece structure, cock-on opening. The trigger is a two-stage trigger that enhances precision shooting. In 2011, a new two-stage trigger system called HACT (Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger) was introduced. The safety device is relatively rudimentary and locks the trigger with a US-patented three-position system that has a safety position where only the trigger is locked and a safety position where the bolt is locked at the same time as the trigger. The internal magazine can hold 3–5 rounds, loaded through the open action, similar to the Type 38 infantry rifle. For models sold overseas, there is an option for a removable box magazine for the Model 1500 as well. These magazines come with 5- and 10-round capacities. Barrels are chromoly, not chrome-lined as seen on arms of the Type 64 rifle. Barrels are offered in both sporting length, weight, and profile as well as Varmint length and weight. All guns circulating within Japan undergo fire-testing at the Toyokazu Company, and every new rifle has its paper test target enclosed with the firearm. There are two main products for the Japanese market. The Deluxe model is fitted with open sights and the sightless varmint-hunting model, known as the "Heavy Barrel". Both versions are available either blued or in stainless steel, for a total of four models on sale, independent of caliber. Short action and long action[b] calibers are available, including, but not limited to .22-250 Remington, .223 Remington, .204 Ruger, 6.5×55mm Swedish, .300 Winchester Magnum, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .338 Winchester Magnum, and .375 Ruger, so the user can freely choose to suit his purpose. In 2015, Howa introduced the "mini action" for .223 Remington, 7.62x39, and 6.5 mm Grendel. Since the introduction of mini-action, in certain markets, short action is now called "standard action". For foreign exports, the barreled action with trigger mechanism is also supplied in a stripped-down form to various small arms manufacturers. It is common that a maker will choose and attach its own gunstock to Howa's barreled actions, and then sell it under their own brand. Weatherby Vanguard is such an example. Previously, Smith & Wesson, O.F. Mossberg & Sons, and Inter-Arms sold them as the M1500. Currently in the United States, Legacy Sports International, a firearms manufacturer and distributor in Reno, Nevada, markets and sells bolt-action rifles that use the Howa M1500 barreled action. Their latest rifle to use the Howa M1500 barreled action is the HCR (Howa Chassis Rifle), which accepts some AR-15 components. For overseas specifications, the M1500 standard 24-inch (about 60 cm) barrel was shortened to 22 inches (about 56 cm) in 1982, and the M1700LS was made lighter by omitting iron sights like the heavy barrel on the assumption that it would be used in a scope. In 1985, at the request of Mossberg, the M1550, which was based on the M1500 and had a 5-box magazine specification from the beginning, was additionally sold, but both are now discontinued. In addition, among the models sold overseas, if a defect in the rifle's bolt is detected, Howa will provide a new bolt, free of charge, for the target serial number. The M1500, while being comparatively low-priced compared to other overseas models, has been judged to have all the delicacy and robustness one would expect from Japanese engineering. In a live-fire test by overseas enthusiasts, a video showing the successful sniping of an empty can from 800 yards (730 meters) away was released. The Howa 1500 is the third best-selling bolt-action rifle on GB. This is a used item.
