Howa M1500 HGR73112 | .308 Win | 22″ Threaded Barrel

The Howa M1500 HGR73112 pairs Howa’s established M1500 action with a Hogue OverMolded pillar-bedded synthetic stock for a reliable, lightweight sporting rifle platform. The rifle ships with a 22″ cold hammer-forged stainless barrel threaded 1/2″-28 and a drilled-and-tapped stainless receiver. Standard features include the HACT two-stage trigger, three-position safety, sling swivel studs, and a 5-round non-detachable magazine with a hinged floorplate. Consider a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 as an optic under $1000 that balances durability, clear glass, and a useful magnification range for the rifle’s typical use.

Applications: precision target shooting and field hunting are common uses for this configuration due to the cartridge and barrel length combination.
