The Fence Line series takes the Howa 1500 barreled action, a design that has been quietly earning its keep since 1979, and dresses it up for real work in the field. This one is built on Howa's mini action, sized specifically for the 7.62×39 cartridge, which means a shorter bolt throw, faster cycling, and no wasted travel. The 20 inch cold hammer forged heavy barrel wears a durable Cerakote finish, comes threaded from the factory, and ships with a radial muzzle brake already installed. Wrap it all in the Prairie Reaper camo coated polymer stock and you have a rifle that looks right at home leaning against a fence post.
There is a lot to like about this pairing. The 7.62×39 is cheap to feed, easy on the shoulder, and plenty of medicine for deer and hogs inside 200 yards. Running it through a properly built bolt gun instead of a semi-auto tightens things up considerably, and Howa backs this rifle with a sub-MOA guarantee of one inch or better at 100 yards with quality ammo. The HACT two-stage trigger breaks clean without the gritty pull you expect at this price point, and the detachable 5-round magazine makes loading and unloading quick at the truck.
The action runs on dual locking lugs with a 90 degree bolt lift and an M16-style spring loaded extractor that yanks cases out with authority. The three-position safety lets you cycle the bolt and unload with the safety engaged, or lock the bolt down entirely for crossing rough country. Cerakote on the barrel and brake shrugs off weather and barbed wire scrapes alike, and the whole package is covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. For a working rifle that still shoots like a target gun, this one checks a lot of boxes.
PR stands for Prairie Reaper, one of three camo finish options in the Fence Line lineup alongside Scorched Earth and Gray Light. The pattern is applied to the polymer stock and paired with a Cerakote-finished barrel and muzzle brake, so the whole rifle holds up well to weather and hard use.
Yes. The 20 inch heavy barrel comes threaded from the factory, and the included radial muzzle brake simply spins off when you want to mount a can. That makes it an easy rifle to run suppressed, and the mild 7.62×39 cartridge is a pleasant one to shoot that way.
It does. The mini action Fence Line models feed from a proprietary detachable magazine, and this 7.62×39 version ships with a 5-round mag. The short and long action rifles in the series use a hinged floorplate instead, so the detachable mag is a nice perk of the mini action.
Absolutely. Howa guarantees sub-MOA performance, meaning groups of one inch or better at 100 yards with quality ammunition, which is more precision than most hunting situations demand. With a good 123 grain soft point load, the 7.62×39 is a solid deer and hog cartridge out to around 200 yards.
