Winchester .243 Win 22" Threaded Barrel Bolt-Action Rifle

The HOWA M1500 Hogue 243 Winchester with 22" threaded barrel in black is a precision bolt-action rifle purpose-built for hunters, precision shooters, and tactical marksmen who demand reliability and accuracy in a lightweight, ergonomic platform. The 243 Winchester cartridge delivers exceptional velocity and minimal recoil, making it ideal for varmint control, small-to-medium game hunting, and precision shooting competitions where a flat trajectory and reduced muzzle rise are operational advantages.

Built on HOWA's time-tested M1500 action, this rifle features a Hogue overmolded composite stock that provides a consistent, non-slip grip surface and reduces weight to 9.6 lbs—critical for field mobility and sustained accuracy. The 22-inch threaded barrel accommodates suppressors or muzzle devices to further reduce muzzle signature and recoil impulse, while the threaded design allows shooters to customize their setup for tactical or hunting applications. A removable 4-round magazine ensures fast reload capability and seamless magazine compatibility with standard M1500 platforms, and the bolt-action design delivers the mechanical reliability demanded in precision-critical environments.

Law enforcement and civilian marksmen benefit most from this rifle's balance of accuracy, handling, and modularity—the 42.25-inch overall length and lightweight composite stock enable rapid target acquisition and sustained control in field conditions. The absence of integrated rear sights allows shooters to mount rail-compatible optics, red dots, or precision scopes without compromise, making the rifle adaptable to mission requirements from close-quarters varmint work to extended-range precision shooting. The threaded muzzle and removable magazine design integrate seamlessly into professional loadouts and are fully compatible with HOWA M1500 accessories and ammunition standards.
