Howa M1500 Fence Line Mini 22 ARC 20" 5rd Gray Rifle

Howa has been machining the M1500 action in Japan since 1979, which is why the same barreled action turns up under half a dozen different brand names. This is the Mini Action version, a receiver sized specifically for short cartridges instead of a full length action with a filler block, so it carries less weight and the bolt travels less distance every cycle. Chambered in 22 ARC, it feeds a modern round that pushes heavy for caliber 22 bullets fast and flat with far less powder and far less recoil than the old varmint magnums needed to do the same work.

The Fence Line build is aimed squarely at ranch and predator work. The 20" heavy contour barrel holds point of impact through a string of shots instead of walking after three, and the extra weight up front steadies the rifle off a fence post, a truck hood, or a bipod. The muzzle is threaded and comes with a brake fitted. Underneath you get Howa's HACT two stage trigger, a 90 degree bolt throw running dual locking lugs, and a three position safety. The detachable magazine holds five rounds. Metal and stock are finished in a gray toned camo. Howa backs the barreled action with a sub MOA accuracy guarantee, one inch or better at 100 yards with match ammunition.
