Compact bolt-action rifle with a walnut stock and threaded barrel. Features a 12% shorter bolt than standard short actions for faster cycling, three-position safety, and sling swivel studs.
The Howa M1500 Mini Action Hunter represents a thoughtful evolution in rifle design—a compact platform engineered for shooters who value speed, handling, and practical accuracy in the field.
The defining feature of this rifle is its proprietary Mini Action. The bolt, chamber, and receiver are 12 percent shorter than conventional short actions, resulting in a noticeably faster bolt throw. This means quicker follow-up shots and less time managing the action when you need to stay focused on your target.
The compact profile makes this rifle exceptionally handy in brush and timber. The shorter bolt throw reduces fatigue during extended shooting sessions and improves your ability to maintain sight picture between shots. The threaded barrel adds versatility—whether you prefer a suppressor for hearing protection or a muzzle brake for recoil management, you have options.
This is a rifle built for hunters and sport shooters who understand that efficiency and reliability matter more than unnecessary features.
