Howa M1500 Walnut Hunter Rifle

The Howa M1500 Walnut Hunter represents a time-honored approach to rifle design: proven mechanical principles married to traditional aesthetics. This is a rifle built for hunters who understand that reliability and accuracy matter more than tactical fashion.

Action and Mechanics

The heart of this rifle is Howa's M1500 action, a two-lug, push-feed bolt-action design that has earned respect across generations of shooters. The forged one-piece bolt ensures strength and consistency, while the two-stage HACT trigger provides a clean, predictable break ideal for accurate shooting.

Caliber and Barrel

Chamber in 22-250 Remington—a cartridge that delivers flat trajectory and minimal recoil while maintaining effective range for varmint and small game hunting. The 22-inch barrel balances velocity with handling ease, making this rifle equally at home in open country or brushy terrain.

Stock and Ergonomics

The traditional walnut Monte Carlo stock speaks to rifle heritage while delivering practical comfort. Checkering at the forearm and pistol grip ensures positive control in all weather conditions. This is honest wood and steel—no plastic, no unnecessary complications.
