Howa M1500 Fence Line Mini Action 223 Rem 22" 5rd Scorched Earth Camo Rifle

Howa's Mini Action is a shorter, lighter receiver built around the .223 case instead of a short action necked down to fit it. The bolt throw is shorter, the receiver is smaller, and the finished rifle carries noticeably lighter than a standard action gun, which matters on a long walk into a coyote stand. This Fence Line version wears a 22" hammer forged barrel, threaded at the muzzle with a brake installed, and feeds from a detachable 5rd magazine.

Everything else is standard Howa: the HACT two stage trigger, dual locking lugs, a spring loaded M16 style extractor, and a three position safety that allows unloading with the striker blocked. Howa backs every one of these with a 1 MOA promise on match ammunition. The HTI synthetic stock is pillar bedded and painted in Scorched Earth camo, paired with a bronze finished barreled action that hides well against dry grass and brush. It is a straightforward predator and varmint rifle that handles like a carbine and shoots like a bench gun, and the threaded muzzle leaves the door open for a suppressor when you are ready for one.
