<p>The Howa® M1500 Mini Action Bolt-Action Rifle has an ultra-short 6" action, which translates into a shorter bolt throw and faster cycling along with less weight. That's certainly a good thing when you're hunting. With game-ending precision in mind, these hunting rifles from Howa are built with exacting tolerances and constructed from the best materials. From its cold hammer-forged, threaded barrel to the pillar-bedded action and synthetic stock, these guns are built with tack-driving, downrange precision. The forged, lightened, 1-piece bolt with 2 locking lugs removes easily for quick gun cleanings. Barrels come threaded. 3-position thumb safety.
