Anyone who has packed a nine-pound rifle up a ridgeline knows exactly why this gun exists. Howa took the M1500 action, a design with decades of reputation for smooth cycling and dependable accuracy, and dropped it into a lightweight carbon fiber stock built by Stocky's. In this .308 Win short action configuration, the whole rifle comes in right around six pounds bare, which means you feel the difference on hour three of a climb, not just in the gun shop.
The 22 inch barrel is cold hammer forged chrome moly with a 1:10 twist, so it stabilizes just about any common .308 bullet weight you'd hunt with, from light 150 grain deer loads up to heavier stuff for elk. The muzzle is threaded, so adding a suppressor or brake is a simple job. Rounds ride in an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, keeping the belly of the rifle slick with nothing to snag or lose in the brush. The three-position safety is a genuinely useful touch in the field: full rear locks the bolt and trigger, the middle position lets you cycle the bolt to unload with the trigger still locked, and forward means you're ready.
Howa's HACT two-stage trigger breaks clean at roughly three pounds with very little creep, and it's a big part of why these rifles carry a sub-MOA guarantee with premium factory ammo. The Stocky's carbon fiber stock isn't just there to shave ounces either. The Accublock lug bedding keeps the barreled action seated solidly so zero stays put, and the Limbsaver recoil pad takes real bite out of .308 recoil in a rifle this light.
The receiver comes drilled and tapped in the familiar Remington 700 pattern, so bases and rings are easy to source. Keep the glass light to match the rifle, sight it in with your hunting load, and this thing will earn a permanent spot on your fall pack list.
Yes, the 22 inch barrel comes with a threaded muzzle from the factory, so you can mount a suppressor or muzzle brake without a trip to the gunsmith. Given how light this rifle is, a can or brake is a popular addition to tame .308 recoil even further.
No, this model feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate. You load rounds through the ejection port and unload by dropping the floorplate, which keeps the bottom of the rifle smooth with no magazine to lose or rattle in the field. In .308 it holds five rounds.
Howa backs this rifle with a sub-MOA guarantee, meaning three-shot groups under an inch at 100 yards with premium factory ammunition. Independent range testing of the Carbon Stalker line has consistently backed that up, with groups well under an inch using quality match and hunting loads. The two-stage HACT trigger deserves a lot of the credit.
No sights or optics are included. The receiver is drilled and tapped in the common Remington 700 base pattern, so rings and bases are cheap and easy to find. Since the whole point of this rifle is low weight, a compact hunting scope in lightweight rings is the way most owners set it up.
