Howa M1500 Super Lite | .308 Win | 20in Threaded | HCSL308TAN

The Howa M1500 Super Lite in .308 Winchester is a reduced short-action bolt rifle built for users who need a lightweight, accurate platform for mountain or stand hunting. It features a 20″ threaded steel barrel, a two-stage match trigger and a drilled-and-tapped receiver with an integrated Picatinny base for optics. This right-hand rifle ships with a tan carbon fiber fixed stock with black webbing and is offered in a configuration that accepts removable magazines.

For an optic pairing under $1,000, consider a Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 or a similar mid- to high-magnification hunting scope; the rifle’s 20″ barrel and reduced action work well with a variable powered riflescope in that range for field use and medium-range precision.

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

This Super Lite edition balances a short-action footprint and a 20″ threaded barrel to give hunters and backcountry shooters a lighter, compact rifle that still accepts common optics and aftermarket accessories. The reduced short action, two-stage trigger and carbon-fiber stock keep weight down while maintaining a stable firing platform for field shots out to typical hunting distances.

Owners commonly note the rifle’s light weight and straightforward accuracy as strong points, and many appreciate the modularity provided by the threaded barrel and Picatinny-mounted receiver for optics and accessories.
