Howa has been quietly building some of the best value bolt guns on the market since 1979, and the Fence Line series takes that proven M1500 action and dresses it for the field. This .308 Win version wears a Scorched Earth sponge-paint camo stock matched with a burnt bronze finish on the barrel and action, so it looks as good leaning against the truck as it does resting over a fence post. Underneath the finish is the same Japanese-made barreled action that comes with a sub-MOA guarantee, meaning three shots inside an inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammo.
The 22 inch barrel is cold hammer forged, which gives you excellent barrel life and consistent accuracy over thousands of rounds. The muzzle comes threaded from the factory with a brake installed, so you can tame recoil at the range or spin the brake off and run a suppressor for coyote work without any gunsmithing. Feeding is handled by a 4 round internal magazine, and the M16-style extractor with dual locking lugs cycles smoothly through the 90 degree bolt throw. The three-position safety is a genuinely useful touch, letting you unload with the safety on or lock the bolt down for the walk back to the truck.
The HACT two-stage trigger is one of Howa's biggest selling points, and for good reason. It breaks clean with a light, predictable pull that you usually only find on rifles costing quite a bit more. Combine that with the forged bolt, machined receiver, and tight headspace tolerances, and you have a rifle that rewards good fundamentals whether you're punching paper or filling the freezer.
In .308 Win, this rifle handles everything from whitetail and hogs to elk at reasonable distances, and ammo is on every shelf in the country. Howa backs the Fence Line with a lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects, so this is a rifle you buy once and hunt with for decades.
Yes, Howa guarantees a 3 shot group of one inch or better at 100 yards with premium factory ammunition. The cold hammer forged barrel and tight headspace tolerances do most of the work, and the HACT two-stage trigger makes it easy to shoot up to the rifle's potential. As with any rifle, it pays to test a few loads to find what your barrel likes best.
You can. The 22 inch barrel comes threaded from the factory with a muzzle brake already installed. Just remove the brake and thread on a .30 caliber suppressor with the matching thread pitch. No gunsmithing required.
No, the standard short action Fence Line in .308 feeds from a 4 round internal magazine. Within the Fence Line series, only the mini action models come with a detachable magazine. The internal setup keeps the rifle slim and snag free for carrying in the field.
The .308 Win is one of the most versatile hunting cartridges around, and this rifle is well suited to whitetail, mule deer, hogs, black bear, and elk at sensible ranges. Ammo availability is about as good as it gets, with everything from light varmint loads to heavy bonded bullets on the shelf. The 22 inch barrel gives you full velocity from most factory loads.
