Howa HHSCF6ARCGRYBLK M1500 6 ARC 20" 6-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Howa M1500 6 ARC 20" 6-Round Bolt-Action Rifle delivers precision and reliability for long-range shooters, tactical trainers, and competitive marksmen who demand performance from a modern platform. Chambered in 6 ARC—an intermediate cartridge engineered for subsonic and supersonic accuracy at extended distances—this rifle fills a critical niche between traditional intermediate rounds and full-power rifle cartridges. The 20-inch barrel provides optimal velocity and ballistic coefficient management, while the compact 46.5-inch overall length ensures maneuverability in confined spaces without sacrificing sight radius or ergonomics.

Built on Howa's proven M1500 bolt-action platform, this rifle features a smooth-cycling two-lug bolt, factory-tuned trigger, and one-piece scope rail for rapid optic mounting. The 6-round detachable magazine system allows fast reloads during training or competition, while the gray synthetic furniture resists corrosion and reduces weight to a battlefield-ready 8.95 pounds. Howa's Japanese manufacturing heritage ensures tight tolerances and consistent accuracy; the 6 ARC chambering specifically excels in subsonic applications and precision rifle competitions where velocity consistency and ballistic predictability matter. The cold-hammer-forged barrel delivers enhanced durability and longevity under sustained firing cycles.

This configuration suits bolt-action competitors, long-range precision shooters, and military/law enforcement units evaluating modern intermediate cartridge platforms for designated marksman or support roles. The M1500's aftermarket compatibility—including chassis systems, trigger upgrades, and optic mounts—enables customization without gunsmithing. Shooters familiar with AR-platform controls and 6 ARC ballistics will appreciate the rifle's straightforward operation and ammunition availability through commercial channels. Standard Picatinny rail systems accommodate any modern scope, rangefinder, or night-vision infrastructure, making this platform modular and future-proof for evolving tactical requirements.
