Howa 1500 Carbon Stalker Vertical Features The Howa 1500 Carbon Stalker Vertical pairs a stainless steel barreled action with the Stocky s VGH carbon fiber-wrapped stock to deliver a lightweight weather-resistant precision hunting bolt-action in .308 Win with a 22 stainless steel threaded barrel featuring a 1:10 twist rate that provides consistent stabilization of .308 Win projectiles across the cartridge s wide range of hunting and precision bullet weights. The stainless steel receiver and barrel provide outstanding corrosion resistance for hunters who regularly encounter wet humid or coastal hunting environments where blued steel would require additional maintenance and the 1/2x28 threaded muzzle delivers full suppressor compatibility for hunters who want a quiet lightweight .308 Win suppressor host in a vertical grip carbon fiber platform. The stainless drilled-and-tapped receiver accepts standard optics bases and rings for a full range of scope configurations and the two-stage trigger and three-position safety provide precise repeatable fire control for demanding hunting and precision shooting applications. For big game hunters and precision rifle shooters who want a lightweight all-weather carbon fiber-stocked .308 Win bolt-action with a vertical grip that supports consistent shooting form and a suppressor-ready stainless barrel the Howa 1500 Carbon Stalker Vertical is a practical and highly capable field platform. The fixed Stocky s VGH Black Carbon Fiber stock with gray webbing incorporates a vertical grip that supports a natural consistent wrist angle and a firm repeatable grip geometry for precision shooting from field positions including prone bipod and supported rests and the carbon fiber construction keeps total system weight to just 6.50 lbs across a 40.50 overall length for comfortable all-day carry. The dimensional stability of the carbon fiber-wrapped stock maintains consistent bedding under the demanding conditions of field hunting resisting moisture temperature and impact better than conventional synthetic or wood stocks and the 5+1 round capacity gives the hunter adequate on-board ammunition for a full day in the field. At 6.50 lbs with a stainless barreled action and a suppressor-ready threaded barrel the Howa 1500 Carbon Stalker Vertical in Stainless and .308 Win is an all-weather lightweight precision hunting bolt-action available for sale at GrabAGun for hunters and precision shooters who want a capable weather-resistant carbon fiber-stocked .308 Win rifle with a vertical grip stock design at a competitive price.
