Howa HCRA73102 M1500 APC Chassis | .308 | 24″ HB

The Howa M1500 HCRA73102 APC Chassis is a right-hand bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 / 7.62 NATO built on an aluminum free-floating chassis and fitted with a 24″ heavy threaded barrel. It ships with a six-position Luth-AR MBA-4 buttstock and Hogue overmolded grip to provide ergonomic adjustability and AR-style furniture compatibility. The rifle’s detachable 10+1 magazine, two-stage trigger, and optic-ready receiver make it appropriate for precision target work and extended range sessions. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50, mounted in 34mm rings for long-range capability.

Typical applications for this rifle include precision target shooting and disciplined range training; its chassis and heavy barrel favor repeatable accuracy and modular accessory mounting.
