For shooters demanding repeatable, long-range performance from a bolt-action platform, attention to action quality, bedding, and cartridge choice separates backyard accuracy from true precision rifle capability.

HOWA M1500 HS PRECISION is built around one of the safest actions on the market and brings factory-level consistency to the 7mm PRC class. This model features an M-16-style extractor and ejector to improve reliability, stringent headspace specifications and true, squared bolt faces that drive the rifle’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee when used with premium factory ammo.

Precision and mechanical features

The 1500 action is noteworthy for its attention to detail: exacting headspace control and squared bolt faces minimize cartridge movement in the chamber, essential for consistent group sizes. The M-16-style extractor and ejector enhance feed and extraction reliability under field conditions. For precision-focused shooters, those mechanical foundations are what let premium factory ammo deliver sub-MOA groups at extended ranges.

Stock construction and bedding

The HS Precision-style stock on this rifle blends kevlar, fiberglass, and carbon fiber in the molded shell and uses a lightweight aluminum bedding block to lock the action into a rigid, repeatable platform. That combination reduces torque and flex under recoil, improving shot-to-shot consistency. The tan and black speckled finish is durable and low-visibility in varied terrain.

Caliber: 7mm PRC — who it’s for

Chambered in 7mm PRC, this rifle suits long-range hunters and precision shooters who need flat trajectories and high ballistic coefficients for heavy-for-caliber bullets. The 7mm PRC excels at extended-range engagements and delivers retained energy on target, making it a capable choice for large-game field work and precision matches where distance matters. The rifle’s 3-round internal magazine keeps profile slim while providing practical capacity.

Howa’s reputation for durable actions and the HS Precision bedding make this a standout in the Bolt Action category. At a price of $1355.99, the HOWA M1500 HS PRECISION represents focused value for a purpose-built long-range platform. View product details and pricing
