Howa M1500 Fence Line Mini | .223 Rem 22in | HMFN223GL

The Howa M1500 Fence Line Mini Action in .223 Rem is a compact bolt-action rifle built on Howa’s long-standing 1500 platform. It features a 22-inch threaded, cold hammer-forged barrel, a HACT two-stage trigger, and a five-round detachable magazine in a light grey/tungsten camo polymer stock. The Mini Action shortens bolt throw and receiver length for faster cycling and lighter overall handling while retaining the platform’s accuracy-oriented features.

For a pairing optic under $1,000, consider a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 or a comparable low-power variable that offers a clear field of view and durable construction suited to the .223 Rem cartridge and the rifle’s 22″ barrel.
