Description
The Fence Line series is Howa doing what Howa does best: taking the proven 1500 barreled action they have been building in Japan since 1979 and dressing it for real hunting work. This one comes chambered in 7mm PRC, one of the best long-range hunting cartridges to come along in years, pushed through a 24-inch cold hammer forged barrel that gives the round the velocity it was designed for. The barrel and action wear a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish that shrugs off weather, and the synthetic stock is coated in Scorched Earth camo that looks right at home in sage, scrub, and late-season timber.
Why the Fence Line 7mm PRC Earns Its Keep
Every Fence Line rifle carries Howa's sub-MOA guarantee, meaning three-shot groups of an inch or better at 100 yards with quality factory ammo. That accuracy comes from a forged bolt with dual locking lugs, a true and square bolt face, tight headspace standards, and the HACT two-stage trigger, which breaks clean without the gritty pull you find on a lot of factory rifles. The 90-degree bolt throw cycles smoothly, the M16-style extractor yanks brass out reliably, and the three-position safety lets you unload with the safety engaged or lock the bolt down for the walk back to the truck.
Set Up for the Field From Day One
The muzzle comes threaded with a radial brake already installed, so you can tame the 7mm PRC's recoil at the range or spin the brake off and run a suppressor. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and the long action feeds from a 3-round hinged floorplate magazine that dumps rounds fast when it is time to clear the rifle. Howa backs the whole package with a lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects.
A Howa 1500 Built for Open Country
If your hunts involve long glassing sessions and shots that stretch out past where most cartridges get comfortable, this setup makes a lot of sense. The 7mm PRC bucks wind well, hits hard at distance, and the Fence Line gives it a dependable, weather-resistant home without a custom-rifle price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Howa M1500 Fence Line really sub-MOA accurate?
Yes, Howa guarantees three-shot groups of one inch or better at 100 yards with premium factory ammunition. That guarantee comes from the cold hammer forged barrel, tight headspace tolerances, and a bolt face machined true and square to the chamber. The HACT two-stage trigger helps you get the most out of that mechanical accuracy.
Can I run a suppressor on the Fence Line 7mm PRC?
You can. The 24-inch barrel is threaded at the muzzle and ships with a radial muzzle brake installed. Remove the brake and you can thread on a compatible suppressor. Just double-check the thread pitch on your suppressor or adapter before mounting.
Does this rifle use a detachable magazine?
No, the long action Fence Line models feed from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, holding 3 rounds plus one in the chamber. The floorplate lets you drop rounds out quickly without cycling them through the action. Only the mini action Fence Line rifles use detachable magazines.
Does the Howa Fence Line come with scope mounts or sights?
It ships without sights or a scope, so plan on adding optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, and bases and rails for the Howa 1500 long action are easy to find since the pattern is widely supported. A quality scope is the natural pairing for a 7mm PRC built for distance.
