Design and Construction

The HS Precision stock assembly is notable: the CNC-machined aluminum bedding block is placed into a mold and both sides are hand laminated with kevlar, fiberglass, and carbon fiber. This layered approach provides a stiff, lightweight chassis that resists environmental changes and preserves the action’s bedding interface. The stock is hand finished, ensuring a premium fit and ready-to-use ergonomics straight from the rack.

Barrel, Receiver, and Trigger

With a 22″ barrel and a steel receiver, the rifle balances maneuverability and ballistic performance for a wide range of field and target work. The inclusion of a two-stage trigger gives shooters a predictable, adjustable break—critical for tight groups and disciplined follow-through. Factory-rated Sub-MOA accuracy means the platform is capable of delivering minute-of-angle groups with quality ammunition and proper load development.

Accuracy, Use Cases, and Value

Whether used for precision hunting, PRS-style matches, or range-focused practice, the Howa HS Precision’s construction—CNC bedding block, laminated composite stock, steel receiver, and two-stage trigger—translates into a stable, accurate shooter’s rifle. Priced at $1000.99, it presents a compelling value for buyers seeking near-match-level performance without aftermarket bedding or heavy modifications. View product details and pricing.
