Howa M1500 Rifle 300 PRC 3/rd 24″ Barrel Black Hogue Stock

The Howa M1500 Rifle 300 PRC 3/rd 24″ Barrel Black Hogue Stock delivers a production-grade precision platform that holds its own against customs costing twice as much. Chambered in 300 PRC, this 24-inch threaded-barrel rig feeds from a 3-round hinged floorplate and rides in a Hogue OverMolded stock—giving you a solid foundation for both steel ringing at distance and ethical big-game harvests. Per Howa’s factory specs, the barreled action is hand-lapped and stress-relieved, ensuring consistent sub-MOA potential out of the box.

Key Features

• Hogue OverMolded Stock – The rubberized overmold reduces felt recoil and provides a non-slip grip in wet or cold conditions. Why it matters: You maintain a consistent cheek weld and trigger pull even when the weather turns, which translates to tighter groups at distance.
• 24-inch Threaded Barrel (5/8×24) – Factory-threaded muzzle ready for a suppressor or brake. Why it matters: You can attach a can to tame the 300 PRC’s bark without paying a gunsmith, preserving barrel harmonics for repeatable accuracy.
• Three-Position Safety – Rotates from Safe to Fire with a middle position that locks the bolt while allowing the rifle to be unloaded. Why it matters: You can clear the chamber without flagging the trigger mechanism, critical for match-stage safety and field carry.
• Hinged Floorplate with 3-Round Capacity – Steel floorplate releases with a push button for quick unloading. Why it matters: You dump the magazine without cycling rounds through the action, saving time between strings and reducing wear on your brass.
• Two-Stage HACT Trigger – Howa’s Actuator Controlled Trigger breaks cleanly with minimal overtravel. Why it matters: You get a predictable 2.5–3 lb pull that lets you call your shots without fighting creep, essential for consistent 1000-yard hits.

Who It’s For

This Howa M1500 is built for the shooter who wants a 300 PRC platform without dropping four figures. It fits the hunter who needs a flat-shooting magnum for elk and mule deer at extended ranges, and the precision rifle nerd who plans to upgrade the stock, bottom metal, and trigger over time. If you’re comfortable with a 3-round internal magazine and want a barreled action that responds to handloads, this is your starting point.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box with match ammo. Howa’s cold-hammer-forged barrel and hand-lapped action deliver repeatable accuracy that rivals custom builds.
• Pro: Threaded muzzle standard. No need to send the barrel out for threading—just screw on your suppressor and go.
• Con: The Hogue stock is flexible under heavy bipod load. At 300+ yards with a bipod, the fore-end can contact the barrel, shifting your POI. A chassis or bedding block upgrade is recommended for consistent long-range work.
