Howa M1500 Super Deluxe .308 Win 22 in. Threaded Walnut

The Howa M1500 Super Deluxe .308 Win 22 in. Threaded Walnut is a full-size bolt-action rifle engineered for precision shooting and reliable field use. Chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62×51 NATO), it combines a 22-inch threaded barrel with a matte blued steel receiver drilled and tapped for optics. The Super Deluxe package includes a deluxe walnut stock with laminated forend and grip caps, deep-cut checkering, and a LimbSaver recoil pad for comfort during extended sessions. Mechanical features include a forged bolt, tool-less firing pin removal, and a two-stage match trigger tuned for consistent breaks.

Key Features

• Forged bolt with tool-less firing pin removal — Why it matters: Field stripping for cleaning or firing pin inspection takes seconds without tools, keeping your rifle running in the field.
• Two-stage match trigger — Why it matters: The take-up and clean break let you stage the trigger for precise shot release, reducing pull-weight surprise and improving accuracy.
• LimbSaver recoil pad — Why it matters: Reduces felt recoil by up to 70% compared to standard pads, allowing longer range sessions without fatigue.
• Threaded barrel (5/8×24 pattern) — Why it matters: Directly mounts suppressors or muzzle brakes without a gunsmith, keeping your setup modular for hunting or competition.
• Drilled and tapped receiver — Why it matters: Optics bases install quickly with standard screws, no additional machining needed for most scope rings.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the long-range shooter who wants a production-grade platform that holds its own against custom builds. It’s equally suited for the hunter who needs a .308 that prints sub-MOA groups from the box and the precision rifle enthusiast who plans to upgrade stocks, triggers, or barrels later. The walnut stock appeals to traditionalists, while the threaded barrel and match trigger satisfy modern precision demands.

Pros and Cons

• Pro: Out-of-box accuracy — many owners report 0.5–0.75 MOA with match ammo.
• Pro: Tool-less bolt disassembly simplifies cleaning.
• Con: Stock finish can be sensitive to humidity and solvents — apply a light coat of wax for protection.
