Precision shooters and practical defenders need a bolt rifle that balances accuracy, reliability, and value.

The HOWA M1500 MINI ACTION delivers a small-package solution engineered for repeatable accuracy and rugged service.

HOWA M1500 MINI ACTION is offered in a configuration that pairs a 22″ black steel threaded barrel chambered for 6mm ARC with a matte blue steel receiver that comes drilled and tapped, plus a fixed HTI green synthetic stock and a 5+1 capacity.

Design and Accuracy Features

The mini action footprint reduces bolt travel and overall receiver length, improving handling without sacrificing accuracy. The cold-hammer-forged 22″ barrel offers consistent barrel life and harmonics favorable for precision groups. A threaded muzzle allows quick attachment of a muzzle brake or suppressor, while the drilled-and-tapped matte blue steel receiver simplifies optic mounting on a solid platform.

Action, Bolt, and Trigger Integrity

Howa’s manufacturing emphasis on the bolt and firing pin delivers crisp lockup and consistent ignition — traits that matter when you’re dialing for elevation or running follow-up shots. The fixed HTI green synthetic stock resists environmental changes, keeping point of impact steady in wet, hot, or cold conditions. Priced competitively at $519.99, this rifle presents a compelling value for a factory-accurate bolt action. View product details and pricing
