Howa M1500 Walnut Hunter | .243 Win | 22 in. Threaded

The Howa M1500 Walnut Hunter is a right-hand bolt-action sporting rifle built on the Howa 1500 action and fitted to a traditional walnut Monte Carlo stock with checkering at the forearm and grip. It is chambered in .243 Winchester, features a two-stage HACT trigger and a blued, threaded 22-inch steel barrel. The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics; an optic such as the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 (commonly available under $1000) pairs well for field use and precision varmint work. Typical applications include varmint/small-game hunting and precision field shooting.
