What Makes the Howa 1500 HS Precision a Top-Tier Choice?

This rifle is not merely assembled; it is built one at a time right in the United States, utilizing the highest quality raw materials and an unwavering commitment to precision. Every component, from its robust action to its state-of-the-art stock, contributes to its renowned accuracy and reliability.

The Foundation of Accuracy: Howa 1500 Barreled Action

At the heart of this rifle is the renowned Howa 1500 barreled action. This action is celebrated globally for its exceptional strength, smooth operation, and inherent accuracy.

• Forged Steel Receiver: The receiver is crafted from solid steel, drop-forged and precisely machined to incredibly tight tolerances. This robust construction provides a rigid platform that minimizes flex during firing, which is absolutely critical for maintaining consistent accuracy shot after shot. This strength also contributes significantly to the rifle's longevity and reliability, capable of handling the powerful 7mm Rem Mag cartridge with ease.
• Integrated Recoil Lug: Designed directly into the receiver, the integral recoil lug ensures a strong and stable connection with the stock, further enhancing precision and preventing any movement that could compromise accuracy.
• Smooth Bolt Operation: The bolt is designed for seamless cycling, allowing for rapid follow-up shots when needed. Its two-lug design provides secure lockup, and the extractor and ejector systems are highly reliable, ensuring spent casings are consistently cleared.
• Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger (HACT) Two-Stage Trigger: A critical element in achieving precision, the HACT trigger system offers a crisp, clean break with minimal overtravel. The two-stage design allows for a smooth take-up before engaging the main sear, giving the shooter more control and reducing the likelihood of disturbing the sight picture. This adjustable trigger system can be fine-tuned to your preference, promoting better shooting mechanics and tighter groups.
• Three-Position Safety: For enhanced safety in the field, the Howa 1500 features a three-position safety. This allows you to lock the bolt and prevent accidental firing, cycle the bolt to load or unload with the trigger blocked, or be ready to fire. This intuitive design provides peace of mind, especially when navigating challenging terrain.

Unwavering Stability: The HS Precision Stock

The hallmark of this particular Howa 1500 model is its HS Precision stock, finished in an attractive and field-ready green with black webbing. This stock is far more than just a housing for the barreled action; it is a meticulously engineered component that directly contributes to the rifle's guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy.

• CNC Machined Aluminum Bedding Block: Unlike traditional pillar bedding or simple free-floating designs, the HS Precision stock incorporates a full-length, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum bedding block. This block is precisely machined to the specific dimensions of the Howa 1500 barreled action, creating a perfect, stress-free interface between the metal and the stock. This rigidity eliminates any flex or movement, ensuring the barreled action remains perfectly aligned, which is absolutely essential for consistent shot-to-shot accuracy.
• Advanced Composite Construction: The aluminum bedding block is then placed into a mold, and both sides of the mold are hand-laminated with a high-strength composite blend of Kevlar, fiberglass, and carbon fiber. This labor-intensive hand-laminating process results in a stock that is incredibly stiff, lightweight, and impervious to changes in temperature and humidity. Unlike wood stocks, which can warp and swell, a composite stock maintains its integrity, ensuring consistent accuracy in any environment.
• Hand-Finished Perfection: Each stock is hand-finished to ensure it is perfect and ready for your needs. This attention to detail speaks volumes about the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every rifle.
• Ergonomic Design: The stock's design is not just about rigidity; it's also about shooter comfort and control. The fixed HS Precision stock offers a comfortable grip and a stable platform for various shooting positions, contributing to better recoil management and consistent sight alignment. The Length of Pull (LOP) is set at 13.25 inches, a comfortable standard for many shooters.

The Powerhouse Caliber: 7mm Remington Magnum

Chambered in the potent 7mm Remington Magnum, this rifle is optimized for impressive long-range performance and effective take-down power on a wide array of game.

• History and Performance: Introduced in 1962, the 7mm Rem Mag quickly became a favorite among North American hunters for its flat trajectory, high velocity, and excellent energy retention over distance. It offers a superb balance of speed and bullet weight, making it highly versatile.
• Versatility for Big Game: Whether you're hunting deer in the timber, elk in the mountains, moose in the north, or even brown bear, the 7mm Rem Mag provides ample power and penetration with appropriate bullet selection. Its ability to deliver a flat trajectory helps mitigate elevation errors at extended ranges, making it an ethical choice for hunters seeking to minimize animal suffering.
• Long-Range Precision: For target shooters, the 7mm Rem Mag's ballistic characteristics make it an excellent choice for reaching out to 600 yards and beyond with authority. Its high sectional density and ballistic coefficients allow bullets to retain energy and resist wind drift effectively.

Optimal Barrel Configuration for Performance

The Howa 1500 HS Precision rifle features a 24-inch barrel, a length carefully chosen to maximize the ballistic potential of the 7mm Rem Mag cartridge while maintaining practical maneuverability.

• Velocity Maximization: A 24-inch barrel provides sufficient length for the 7mm Rem Mag's slow-burning powders to achieve optimal velocities, translating directly to flatter trajectories and increased energy downrange.
• Accuracy and Balance: This barrel length strikes an excellent balance between velocity, inherent accuracy, and overall rifle balance. It's long enough to be exceptionally accurate but not so long as to be cumbersome in dense brush or tight shooting positions.
• Barrel Material and Finish: The barrel is made from high-quality steel, ensuring durability and consistent performance. Its black finish provides corrosion resistance and a sleek aesthetic that complements the green and black webbing stock.
• Twist Rate: With a 1:9.50" twist rate, the barrel is perfectly optimized to stabilize a wide range of popular 7mm Rem Mag bullet weights, from lighter 140-grain options for speed to heavier 175-grain bullets for maximum energy and penetration. Proper bullet stabilization is critical for achieving the promised sub-MOA accuracy.

Key Features for Uncompromising Performance

• Sub-MOA Accuracy Guarantee: Howa stands behind the precision of this rifle with a sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) accuracy guarantee. This means that with quality ammunition and a competent shooter, the rifle is capable of consistently producing groups under one inch at 100 yards. This level of accuracy is typically found in much more expensive custom rifles, making the Howa 1500 HS Precision an incredible value.
• Drilled & Tapped Receiver: The receiver comes factory drilled and tapped, ready to accept a wide variety of scope mounts and rings, allowing you to easily customize your optic setup for your specific hunting or shooting needs.
• Full-Size Ergonomics: Designed as a full-size rifle, it offers a comfortable and stable shooting platform for adult shooters, ensuring optimal control and reduced fatigue during extended sessions.
• Manageable Weight: Weighing in at 7.80 lbs, the rifle strikes a balance between being light enough for field carry and heavy enough to effectively absorb recoil and maintain stability for precision shots. The overall length of 43.50 inches contributes to its excellent balance.
• Capacity: The rifle features a 3+1 capacity, providing three rounds in the internal magazine and one in the chamber, which is standard and sufficient for most hunting scenarios.

Who is This Rifle For? Real-World Applications
