The Howa M1500 Carbon Stalker is a bolt-action rifle that pairs the legendary 1500 barreled action with a carbon fiber stock to achieve sub-MOA accuracy in a lighter platform. This Mini Action version weighs just 4 lbs., 10 oz., making it the lightest rifle Howa has ever produced. It is chambered in .223 Rem and features a cold hammer-forged 22-inch barrel for consistent accuracy and longevity.
Japanese engineering defines the 1500 action, which incorporates a forged one-piece receiver with an integral recoil lug that strengthens the rifle’s construction and durability. The HACT 2-stage trigger is factory-set at 3 lbs., while a 3-position safety and Accublock lug bed come standard. The barrel features a threaded muzzle ready to accept suppressors or brakes.
The carbon fiber stock is built by Stocky’s Stocks and delivers significant weight reduction without sacrificing strength or rigidity. A Limbsaver buttpad ensures comfortable shooting. The rifle comes with a 10-round capacity magazine and a gray finish with black webbing. Howa backs this rifle with a Sub-MOA guarantee—1-inch or less groups at 100 yards with premium ammunition—and Legacy Sports International provides a 100% Lifetime Warranty to the original purchaser covering manufacturer defects, faulty, defective, or broken parts due to manufacturing.
