The 22" barrel features a sporter contour, recessed crown, and 1:10" right-hand twist, optimizing performance with a wide range of .308 Win. loads while resisting the elements in the field.
Howa’s forged one-piece receiver houses an M16-style extractor/ejector for positive cycling and reliability. The internal staggered-column magazine holds 4+1 rounds and empties quickly through a hinged floorplate.
The user-adjustable, two-stage HACT trigger breaks cleanly, and a three-position safety allows the shooter to lock the bolt or cycle rounds while on safe. A 13.5" length of pull, Limbsaver recoil pad, and pillar-bedded synthetic stock finished in Realtree Hardwoods camo promote comfort and consistent accuracy.
Scope and mounts come factory-installed. The Nikko Stirling Nighteater offers a Duplex reticle, 3-10x magnification range, and a 1" tube—delivering clear, repeatable adjustments straight out of the box.
Every Model 1500 leaves the factory with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, giving buyers added confidence in the rifle’s real-world performance.
