M1500 BARRELED ACTION 300 WIN MAG THREADED Reviews & Ratings

The M1500 barreled action in .300 Win Mag comes fully assembled with the barrel chambered, installed, and properly headspaced - eliminating the most difficult work in "building" your own bolt action rifle. Mate it to a suitable stock or chassis system, and you have high-quality precision rifle for an amazingly affordable cost.

Each Howa M1500 .300 Win Mag barreled action has a forged one-piece bolt body, with two locking lugs and an integral bolt handle. The bolt face is precisely squared to the barrel chamber for excellent contact with the receiver recess. An M16-style extractor ensures reliable, positive extraction. Receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope base. A full-length bottom metal with hinged floorplate, magazine box, mag spring, and front/rear action screws are part of the package.

Howa's HACT two-stage trigger delivers a light, consistent pull with a crisp let-off. The "Howa Actuator Controlled Trigger" has a uniquely configured sear and precision-cut contact surfaces, so creep is entirely eliminated. Pull weight is impressively light. The three-position safety allows the bolt to be completely locked and also lets you unload the M1500 .300 Win Mag barreled action while it's on "SAFE". FFL required for purchase.
