Howa M1500 Carbon Stalker .350 Legend 16.25" 10-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Howa M1500 Carbon Stalker .350 Legend 16.25" 10-Round Bolt-Action Rifle delivers precision hunting and tactical capability in a lightweight, compact platform built for modern shooters. Designed for hunters, sport shooters, and tactical professionals who demand accuracy without burden, this rifle addresses the growing demand for intermediate-power cartridges that balance manageable recoil with effective range performance. The .350 Legend cartridge has gained traction across North America for its subsonic capability, reduced noise signature, and suitability for medium-game hunting in areas with rifle restrictions.

Built on Howa's proven M1500 action, this rifle features a free-floating carbon fiber composite barrel that reduces weight while maintaining rigidity and thermal stability—critical for consistent shot placement across temperature swings. The 16.25" barrel length optimizes velocity while keeping overall profile manageable for close-quarters navigation and vehicle transport, making it ideal for tactical applications and backcountry hunting. A crisp, adjustable trigger geometry enables precise shot control, while the 10-round magazine capacity provides adequate firepower for hunting scenarios and training drills. At just 4.75 lbs, the Carbon Stalker minimizes fatigue on long days afield without sacrificing the mechanical reliability Howa is known for in law enforcement and military circles.

This rifle excels for hunters pursuing deer, hog, and similar game where subsonic .350 Legend rounds provide ethical terminal ballistics with minimal noise disturbance. Tactical teams and civilian defensive shooters appreciate the compact footprint and lightweight handling for building specialized carbine systems. The M1500 platform accepts standard Picatinny rails for optics and accessories, enabling seamless integration with modern combat optics, magnified scopes, and tactical lights. Whether configured for hunting precision or tactical deployment, the Howa M1500 Carbon Stalker represents mature engineering in an emerging caliber category—backed by a legacy of reliability across demanding professional environments.
