Description
The Howa M1500 Superlite Gen2 is a reduced short-action bolt rifle positioned between the Mini Action and standard Short Action platforms. It is configured for field use where a light, compact package matters — a capable mountain rifle or a compact tree-stand companion. This example ships with a 20″ threaded barrel, a drilled-and-tapped receiver, and an HS Precision synthetic stock in OD green with black webbing. The rifle features a two-stage match trigger, a 3+1 capacity, and a 1:9.5″ twist rate suitable for typical 7mm-08 Remington loads.
