With a lifetime warranty, a sub-m.o.a. guarantee and a strong aftermarket of tailored parts and accessories, Howa M1500 rifles offer one of the best values in the bolt-action market. New for 2024, the company is offering two new models and an additional chambering to the lineup.
The Super Deluxe has a deluxe walnut stock and is available with either a stainless steel (shown) or blued finish.
The Howa Super Deluxe Walnut takes the M1500 action and places it in a deluxe Turkish walnut stock that is checkered and has a contrasting laminated wood fore-end and grip cap. Available in either a blued or stainless steel finish, barrel lengths are 22” (.22-250 Rem., .243 Win., 6.5 mm Creedmoor, .308 Win., .270 Win. and .30-'06 Sprg.) and 24” (7 mm Rem. Mag. and 6.5 PRC). The Howa Super Deluxe has an MSRP of $749 for blued models and $819 for stainless models.
The Superlite Short Barrel takes 3.75” and 4 ozs. off of the original Howa Superlite. Shown with an XK7 Kings Camo stock finish.
Introduced in 2022, the Howa Superlite is one of the most affordable sub-5 lb. hunting rifles on the market. This year, Howa is offering the Superlite Short Barrel with a 16.25” barrel, as opposed to the 20” barrel on the original Superlite. The remainder of the Short Barrel’s features follow the original Superlite, including a Stocky’s carbon-fiber stock available in Gray, Tan, Green, Kryptek Obskura Transitional, Kryptek Altitude and XK7 Kings Camo finishes and the barrel’s muzzle is threaded 1/2x28 TPI. Available chamberings are .243 Win., .308 Win, 6.5 mm Creedmoor and 7 mm-08 Rem. The Short Barrel shaves 4 ozs. off of the 20” barreled Superlite, for a total weight of 4 lbs., 3 ozs. It has an MSRP of $1,089.
New for 2024, Howa is offering the 7 mm PRC cartridge in its long actions. The Game Pro 2.0 is pictured.
The final addition to the Howa line-up for this year is the introduction of the 7 mm PRC chambering to its models available with a long action. This includes the Carbon Stalker, HS Precision, Game Pro 2.0, Randy Newberg Gen 2 and Hogue Overmold models. These models have MSRPs between $539 and $1,160.
