Howa HMA22ARCGHBY 1500 20" Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Howa HMA22ARCGHBY 1500 20" Threaded Barrel Rifle is a precision bolt-action platform engineered for shooters who demand accuracy, modularity, and tactical versatility. Built on Howa's proven 1500 action, this rifle bridges the gap between competition shooting and duty-ready performance, making it ideal for law enforcement marksmen, civilian tactical shooters, and precision rifle competitors. The 20-inch threaded barrel enables users to tailor their rifle with suppressors, muzzle devices, or compensators to match specific mission requirements and shooting conditions.

Chambered in .22 ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge), this rifle delivers ballistic performance optimized for precision shooting at intermediate distances with minimal recoil and exceptional accuracy potential. The 20-inch barrel length provides a balance between velocity retention and compact handling—critical factors in dynamic tactical environments where shorter sight radius or confined spaces demand maneuverability. The threaded barrel design (1/2x28 thread pitch standard for .22 ARC platforms) accepts industry-standard muzzle devices, allowing operators to reduce recoil signature, control muzzle rise, or integrate sound suppression without permanent modifications. At 7.82 pounds, the rifle maintains a controllable weight profile suitable for extended field operations.

This platform excels for shooters seeking a modern, modular rifle for precision work, duty use, or advanced training scenarios. The Howa 1500 action is known for mechanical reliability and sub-MOA accuracy potential out of the box, making it suitable for operators who cannot afford mechanical malfunctions. Compatibility with standard .22 ARC ammunition across commercial suppliers ensures logistics support, and the threaded barrel allows seamless integration with suppressors or compensators for operators in regions where such devices are permitted. Whether configured for law enforcement sniper work, precision competition, or personal defense at extended range, the Howa HMA22ARCGHBY delivers dependable platform architecture with field-proven ergonomics.
