Howa HHGB30816 M1500 HS Precision | .308 Win | 16.25″ Barrel

The Howa M1500 HS Precision combines Howa’s cold hammer-forged barreled action with a Hogue OverMolded, pillar-bedded stock to create a compact, accuracy-focused bolt-action rifle. Built on a forged steel receiver and bolt, the rifle includes a two-stage HACT trigger and a three-position safety for controlled follow-up shots. The short 16.25″ heavy barrel and compact profile make this rifle well suited to precision target work at moderate ranges and for hunting medium-sized game where maneuverability matters. A mid- to low-magnification precision optic such as the Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 is a good match for this platform and generally falls well under $1,000.

The HACT two-stage trigger and pillar-bedded OverMolded stock deliver predictable trigger breaks and a consistent action-to-stock fit, making the rifle a practical choice for deliberate precision shooting and for hunts where a shorter, easy-handling barrel is preferred. Its optic-ready receiver and robust forged construction make it a straightforward platform to equip for range work or field use.
