HOWA M1500: Design and key components

HOWA M1500 is an out-of-the-box rifle built to serve both hunters and target shooters. At roughly $605.99, it pairs the high-precision Howa 1500 action with a Hogue pillar-bedded OverMolded stock for a balance of solidity and lightweight handling. The rifle features a cold hammer forged barrel and a steel forged bolt and receiver — manufacturing choices that favor long-term durability and consistent shot-to-shot performance.

Features that matter on the range and in the field

Action, barrel, and bedding

The combination of the Howa 1500 action with cold hammer forging produces a barrel profile that resists throat erosion and holds accuracy over hundreds of rounds. Pillar-bedded construction under the Hogue OverMolded stock ensures the bedding interface resists movement, which helps maintain point-of-impact consistency when temperatures or loadings change.

Trigger and safety

The HACT 2-stage trigger delivers a clean, predictable pull suitable for precision shooting while remaining user-friendly for hunting scenarios. A 3-position safety gives tactile confirmation for safe carry and immediate readiness when you need to transition quickly.

Ergonomics and practical considerations

The Hogue OverMolded stock provides an ergonomic grip and forgiving recoil management for lighter calibers, making the rifle approachable for new shooters while still meeting the needs of experienced marksmen. Because this listing comes in various Howa models and configurations, check the product page for stock color, barrel length, and action specifics before purchase.

Price-conscious buyers will find the HOWA M1500 delivers features often found on higher-priced rifles: forged components, advanced bedding, and a match-capable trigger for $605.99.
