Howa M1500 Mini Action | 6.5mm Grendel | 22″ Barrel

The Howa M1500 Mini Action is a compact bolt-action rifle built around a shortened mini action and lighter bolt for a reduced bolt throw and faster cycling. It pairs a 22-inch threaded, standard #2 contour barrel with a black HTI pillar-bedded synthetic stock and a drilled-and-tapped receiver for mounting optics. Consider pairing this rifle with a Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 (widely available under $1,000) for a versatile low- to mid-power optic that suits longer-range hunting and precision target work.

Applications: medium-game hunting and precision target shooting.
