The Howa HWH243 M1500 Standard Hunter combines the dependable M1500 action with classic lines and delivers sub-MOA accuracy—1 inch or less at 100 yards—when paired with premium factory ammunition. A forged one-piece bolt with two locking lugs provides a solid platform, while the three-position safety and HACT two-stage trigger ensure consistent, reliable operation.
The 22-inch threaded barrel accommodates suppressors and muzzle devices, and the rifle is topped with a premium walnut stock built to last generations. The factory barrel is cold hammer forged steel, chambered symmetrically on center axis with headspace held to strict specifications. Chambered in .243 Winchester with a 5-round capacity, this rifle delivers versatile performance across varmint and medium game hunting applications.
