For shooters who demand reliable, repeatable accuracy from a bolt-action platform, the right combination of barrel, action, and bedding makes all the difference. Whether you’re building a first long-range rig or upgrading a hunting setup, attention to components and ergonomics yields measurable performance at 100 yards and beyond.

HOWA 1500 pairs a precision-proven action with a Hogue pillar bedded OverMolded stock to deliver a platform that’s both forgiving and accurate. The combination of a cold hammer forged barrel and a steel forged bolt and receiver gives this rifle the durability and rigidity you want for consistent group sizes. With a HACT 2-stage trigger and a 3-position safety, the HOWA 1500 is tuned for disciplined shooting and safe handling right out of the box.

Design and fit: what makes it accurate

The Hogue OverMolded stock is pillar bedded, which stabilizes the action and reduces point-of-impact shifts as the rifle heats up or is carried in the field. A 24-inch cold hammer forged barrel helps maintain consistent harmonics for long-range stringing, and the steel forged bolt/receiver combo resists wear under heavy use. These are features normally associated with higher-priced match rifles, yet this package is presented at an accessible price point of $540.99.

Practical performance and applications

Long-range shooting and hunting

With a 24-inch barrel and a 3-round magazine capacity, the HOWA 1500 is optimized for deliberate, long-range shots and practical hunting scenarios where follow-up shots are limited. Caliber is not listed for this particular SKU, so pick a chambering that matches your intended use—common Howa 1500 chamberings include cartridges suited for both target work and medium game. This flexibility makes the rifle an excellent entry-level match or sporting rifle.

Key handling features like the HACT 2-stage trigger and 3-position safety make the HOWA 1500 intuitive for shooters transitioning from basic bolt guns to a more refined platform. For parts interchangeability and aftermarket support, note the brand Howa and the model family (Various) when sourcing accessories or replacement components. View product details and pricing
