Howa Superlite M1500 | .308 Win | 20″ Threaded

The Howa Superlite M1500 is a reduced short-action bolt rifle built for mobile hunting and field use, pairing a 20″ threaded barrel with a Kryptek Obskura fixed synthetic stock. It uses a two-stage match-style trigger and a one-piece Picatinny rail for optic mounting. This configuration is intended for hunters and shooters who value a lightweight, weather-resistant package that is easy to carry in mountain terrain or for use from compact tree stands.

A quality optic that pairs well with this rifle while staying under $1,000 is the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40, which provides a useful magnification range and durable construction for hunting applications.

Recommended applications: mountain hunting and compact tree-stand hunting.
