Howa M1500 Fence Line 243 Win 22" Tungsten Grey Light Camo Rifle

243 Win is the classic split personality cartridge: light enough for a long afternoon on prairie dogs, enough bullet for whitetail once the season turns. Howa gives it a hammer forged 22" barrel threaded at the muzzle, sitting over the 1500 barreled action with its 90 degree bolt throw, dual locking lugs and spring loaded M16 style extractor.

The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting glass is a five minute job on the kitchen table. A HACT two stage trigger and a three position safety are standard across the series, and Howa guarantees the barreled action to 1 inch or better at 100 yards. The metalwork is Tungsten, a flat gray that pairs with the Grey Light camo on the fixed synthetic stock and keeps glare down on open ground. Recoil is soft enough that new hunters do not flinch, which is most of the reason 243 Win has stayed in every catalogue for generations while flashier cartridges came and went.
