"The Howa M1500 Mini Action Bolt-Action Rifle has an ultra-short 6"" action, which translates into lighter, shorter, faster follow-up shots. That's certainly a good thing when you're hunting. With game-ending precision in mind, these hunting rifles from Howa are built with exacting tolerances and constructed out of the best materials. From its cold hammer-forged and threaded barrel, to its HTI synthetic, pillar-bedded stock with recoil pad, these guns are built with tack-driving, downrange precision. The forged, lightened, 1-piece bolt with 2 locking lugs removes easily for quick gun cleanings. The barrel of the .223 Rem features 1/2x28 threading for a flash suppressor (not included); all other calibers have 5/8x24 threads. 3-position thumb safety. Drilled and tapped.
