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 and versatility for precision shooters, hunters, and tactical marksmen who demand reliability in a modern platform. Built on Howa's proven M1500 action, this rifle chambered in .22 ARC bridges the gap between high-velocity rifle performance and ammunition efficiency, making it ideal for varmint control, precision target work, and field applications where shot placement matters. The 22 ARC cartridge offers a flat trajectory and reduced recoil while maintaining energy at extended ranges, appealing to shooters who value both accuracy and shootability.

This bolt-action rifle features a threaded barrel, allowing quick integration of suppressors, muzzle devices, or sound management solutions—a feature increasingly valued in tactical, training, and field environments. The 5-round magazine capacity provides adequate firepower for hunting and precision work while maintaining control and follow-up shot accuracy inherent to bolt-action mechanics. Howa's M1500 action is renowned for smooth bolt cycling, crisp triggers, and inherent accuracy from the factory, utilizing a locking lug design that minimizes runout and ensures repeatable point-of-impact. The compact profile and manageable recoil of the 22 ARC make this rifle suitable for shooters of varying experience levels who seek professional-grade reliability without excessive felt recoil.

Law enforcement precision teams, military marksmen, and civilian tactical shooters will appreciate the modularity this rifle offers through its threaded barrel—allowing end-users to configure the platform for specific mission requirements. The 22 ARC caliber makes this rifle particularly effective for precision work at ranges where larger magnums become impractical, reducing collateral concerns on training ranges and in populated areas. Shooters integrating this rifle into existing tactical setups will find the Howa M1500 platform compatible with standard AR-15 scope rings and mounts, simplifying optics integration and minimizing additional investment. This firearm is FFL-regulated and requires proper licensing and local compliance for purchase and ownership.
