Howa HWH350HB M1500 16.25" 4-Round Threaded Barrel Bolt-Action Rifle

The Howa HWH350HB M1500 Mini Action Hunter Compact 350 Legend rifle represents a purpose-built solution for hunters and tactical shooters seeking a lightweight, maneuverable platform in an intermediate cartridge. Chambered in 350 Legend—a modern, efficient round gaining rapid adoption across North America—this compact bolt-action rifle delivers stopping power with minimal recoil, making it ideal for predator control, hog hunting, and defensive applications where mobility matters. At 8.6 pounds and 38.5 inches overall, the Mini Action design excels in tight spaces, vehicle operations, and prolonged field work without fatigue.

The rifle's 16.25-inch heavy threaded barrel provides superior accuracy and velocity while accommodating sound suppressors or muzzle devices—a critical advantage in noise-sensitive environments or tactical operations. The blued steel receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases, allowing seamless integration with modern optics and accessories. The fixed walnut stock offers durability, aesthetic appeal, and a traditional ergonomic profile that suits law enforcement and civilian operators alike. With a 3+1 round capacity (feeding from a single 10-round magazine), the platform balances firepower with magazine-fed reliability, while the robust bolt-action mechanism ensures consistent accuracy and dependable function across temperature extremes and extended storage periods.

Law enforcement tactical units, rural property owners, and experienced hunters benefit most from this compact, threaded package. The 350 Legend cartridge requires no specialized ammunition logistics—factory loads are increasingly available and cost-effective compared to larger caliber alternatives. Right-hand operation suits the majority of shooters, and the drilled receiver accommodates low-power optics, red dots, or traditional scope rings without gunsmithing. Suppressors rated for subsonic 350 Legend loads transform this rifle into an exceptionally quiet platform, valuable for pest control and training scenarios where noise discipline is essential.
