Howa M1500 .22 ARC 5-Round Threaded Barrel Bolt-Action Rifle

The Howa M1500 .22 ARC 5-Round Threaded Barrel Bolt-Action Rifle delivers precision rifle capability in a modern intermediate cartridge optimized for medium-range accuracy and clean ballistics. Built for shooters and hunters who demand sub-MOA performance without unnecessary recoil, this rifle bridges the gap between .223 Remington and larger centerfire calibers. The .22 ARC cartridge has earned respect among precision shooters and tactical professionals for its flat trajectory, minimal wind drift, and effective terminal performance at extended distances.

This bolt-action rifle features Howa's proven M1500 receiver platform, known throughout law enforcement and military training circles for mechanical reliability and repeatable accuracy. The threaded barrel accommodates suppressors and muzzle devices, allowing shooters to tailor sound signature and recoil management to their specific environment. The 5-round magazine capacity makes this rifle ideal for precision shooting applications where follow-up shots are deliberate rather than rapid-fire. The bolt-action mechanism ensures clean, consistent trigger breaks and eliminates timing variables that compromise accuracy—a critical factor when every round counts in a tactical or hunting scenario.

Operators working in constrained legal environments, hunters pursuing varmint and mid-sized game, and precision rifle competitors will find the Howa M1500 .22 ARC an excellent choice for controlled-shot applications. The threaded barrel provides immediate compatibility with industry-standard suppressors (1/2x28 TPI), making it accessible for shooters in suppressor-friendly jurisdictions. Lightweight enough for extended field use yet rigidly engineered for accuracy, this rifle suits applications from predator control to precision training courses. Installation of optics, bipods, or other modular accessories requires only standard Picatinny-compatible mounts.
