Howa 1500 .270 Winchester w/Nikko Sterling 3-9x40mm Scope
Description: Description: This is a good example of a Howa 1500. It’s simple and easy to use, has a quality scope and possesses a decent size magazine capacity. Chambered for the extremely popular .270 Winchester, this firearm is a perfect example of a hunting rifle. The .270 Winchester was originally introduced in 1925 but was not immediately popular due to the relatively recent introduction of the .30-06 Springfield in 1906. It is was also an odd standout in terms of its .277-inch diameter bullet. The only other cartridge to use this bullet diameter prior to the .270 Win was the Chinese 6.8x57 Mauser cartridge for use in the Model 1907 Chinese Mauser and even that cartridge is mostly unheard of (many of the Model 1907s were rechambered for the standard German 8x57 Mauser). There is some debate about whether Winchester got the idea for the .270 from the Chinese round or if they simply took inspiration from the more familiar 7x57 Mauser. The .270 picked up in popularity after World War II once American hunters realized the .270 could shoot a flatter trajectory than its cousin the .30-06. Available bullets for the .270 range from the light weight 90 gr bullets up to the heavy 160 gr bullets. As a general rule of thumb, the 90 to 110 gr bullets are for varmints and small deer, 130 gr for mid-size deer, sheep, mountain goats, and antelope, while the 140 gr to 160 gr are for large deer, elk, caribou, and even moose. The 130 gr bullet is most popular followed closely by the 150 gr bullet. The Howa’s barrel and receiver are blued rather than the usual matte black finish. The stock is a black synthetic type, which is good for both hot and cold temperatures, as the material will handle those two better than a wooden stock. The fore end is wide and flat, making it suitable for use with a bipod. Magazine capacity of the Howa is 5 plus 1. The scope is a Nikko Sterling 3-9x40mm. The rifle itself is in great condition. The bluing is in roughly 98-99 percent condition. The bore is in near pristine shape though it could probably use a short cleaning. The forward scope cover has a split in the rubber on the left side. It will need to be replaced eventually. There is no box. Just how good is a Howa, you ask? At one time, the famous rifle manufacturer Weatherby, Inc. imported Howa rifles under the Weatherby name. Weatherby would not have done this unless the rifle met the company’s well-known and very high standards.
