Howa M1500 Walnut Hunter | .270 Win | 22″ | HWH270

The Howa M1500 Walnut Hunter places the reliable Howa 1500 bolt action in a traditional walnut Monte Carlo stock, combining classic lines with precision-oriented features. It ships with a blued steel receiver and a 22″ threaded barrel with a 1:10″ rate of twist. For a capable optic under $1,000 that complements the rifle’s intended use, consider a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24 or a similar 3-9×40 hunting scope.
