The Hogue Youth configuration delivers a compact 12.5-inch length of pull in an overmolded synthetic stock finished in OD green. The stock is pillar-bedded, provides a textured grip, includes a recoil pad, and comes with sling swivel studs for straightforward carry options.
The 22-inch steel barrel is cold hammer forged with a sporter contour and a factory-threaded muzzle (1/2x28), adding versatility for compatible muzzle devices. The rifle carries a matte blued/black finish for a low-glare profile.
Its bolt action uses dual opposed locking lugs for solid lock-up, along with an M16-style extractor and plunger ejector for consistent operation. Feeding is from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate and a 5+1 capacity.
Controls and firing components include a three-position safety and the HACT two-stage trigger for a clean, predictable pull. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and the rifle is supplied without sights.
This Model 1500 Hogue Youth is part of Howa's Model 1500 Hogue Youth series and is made in Japan. It also carries the Howa Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
