The Fence Line series is what happens when Howa takes the 1500 action they have been building since 1979 and dresses it up for the field without inflating the price tag. This one wears Burnt Bronze Cerakote over the barreled action and a Prairie Reaper camo synthetic stock, a combo that looks right at home in sage and dry grass country. Underneath the finish is the same Japanese-made action that earned Howa its reputation, backed by a sub-MOA guarantee of one inch or better at 100 yards with quality factory ammo.
The 7mm PRC chambering is the reason to give this rifle a hard look. It pushes high-BC 7mm bullets fast enough to stay flat and hit hard at distances where a lot of classic magnums start running out of steam, and the 24 inch cold hammer-forged barrel gives the cartridge room to do its job. The muzzle comes threaded with a radial brake already installed, which takes real bite out of recoil at the bench, and you can swap it for a suppressor whenever you are ready. Feeding comes from a 3+1 internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, a clean setup with no detachable mag to lose in the truck.
The controls are where the 1500 platform earns its keep. The HACT two-stage trigger breaks clean and predictable, the 90 degree bolt throw cycles smoothly on dual locking lugs, and the M16-style extractor yanks brass out with authority. A three-position safety lets you work the bolt and unload with the safety still engaged, which is a feature worth having when you are crossing fences with a loaded chamber. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting your scope base is straightforward. Add in a lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects and you have a serious open-country rig at a working man's price point.
Yes, this Fence Line ships with a radial muzzle brake installed from the factory on the threaded 24 inch barrel. That takes a noticeable amount of sting out of the 7mm PRC, which is a welcome thing during load development at the bench. If you would rather run a suppressor, just spin the brake off and thread on your can.
It is. Howa guarantees three-shot groups of one inch or better at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition, and the 1500 platform has a long track record of delivering on that promise. The cold hammer-forged barrel and the crisp HACT two-stage trigger do a lot of the heavy lifting there.
No, the long action Fence Line models like this 7mm PRC feed from a 3+1 internal magazine with a hinged floorplate. It keeps the bottom of the rifle slim and means there is no magazine to misplace in the field. The floorplate drops open for quick, easy unloading.
Absolutely. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so you can install bases or a one-piece rail that fits the Howa 1500 long action pattern. Given what the 7mm PRC can do past 500 yards, a quality scope with solid turrets or a good BDC reticle is the natural pairing for this rifle.
