Howa HMA22ARCBHBY 1500 20" Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Howa HMA22ARCBHBY 1500 20" Threaded Barrel Rifle is purpose-built for shooters who demand precision in an intermediate rifle platform. Chambered in 22 ARC, this mini-action rifle bridges the gap between rimfire economics and centerfire ballistics, making it ideal for precision rifle competitors, training-focused shooters, and hunters working within intermediate ranges.

Built on Howa's proven 1500 mini-action platform, the HMA22ARCBHBY delivers the accuracy inherent to Howa's cold-hammer-forged barrels and traditional bolt-face design. The 20-inch threaded barrel provides the optimal velocity platform for 22 ARC while maintaining a manageable profile for tactical and competition use. The mini-action design reduces weight and cycle time compared to standard bolt-action rifles, enabling faster follow-up shots without sacrificing mechanical accuracy.

This rifle is best suited for competitive shooters, precision rifle trainers, and dedicated handloaders who understand 22 ARC's niche advantages in cost-effective, low-recoil shooting disciplines. The threaded barrel accepts standard 1/2x28 muzzle devices, allowing users to suppress, compensate, or customize muzzle devices to suit their specific application without requiring gunsmithing.
