Built on the Mark V action, this rifle features the short 54-degree bolt lift with a right-hand, fluted, bright-polished bolt body and gas-relief ports. Feeding is via an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate for a 3+1 capacity. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and the rifle is configured without open sights.
The 24-inch tapered sporter barrel wears a high-polish blued finish and a proper crown. A non-factory muzzle brake is installed — an unbranded, silver-finished cylindrical unit with radial ports — adding a distinct look to this example.
The Deluxe stock is high-gloss walnut with a right-hand Monte Carlo cheekpiece and skip-line checkering. Details include a rosewood forend tip with spacer and diamond inlay, a ventilated recoil pad, and sling swivel studs. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
This is a Howa (Japan) production Mark V Deluxe from the 1972–1994 era, identifiable by its "SOUTH GATE, CALIF. MADE IN JAPAN" markings and H-prefix serial range. Chambered in 7mm Weatherby Magnum, it combines the classic Deluxe presentation with the Japan-era fit and finish that many collectors seek.
