Australia's best-value bolt action barrelled action — proven, all-steel, and built to last.

The Howa 1500 has earned its reputation as the benchmark bolt action rifle in Australia. With thousands sold and a track record that speaks for itself, the Howa 1500 delivers consistent accuracy, robust construction, and outstanding value — all in a barrelled action ready for your custom build.

All-Steel Construction

Unlike many competitors, the Howa 1500 uses no plastic components on the action (bar the magazine follower). The receiver and bolt are steel throughout, ensuring long-term durability and eliminating the risk of failure when it matters most.

Key Features

• HACT Two-Stage Match Trigger — Howa's precision two-stage trigger delivers a crisp, consistent break straight out of the box, giving you a measurable accuracy advantage without aftermarket upgrades.
• Hammer-Forged Barrel — Factory barrels are hammer forged and chambered symmetrically at the centre of axis, with headspace set to exacting specs for maximum accuracy and consistent bore quality.
• 3-Position Safety — Allows the bolt to be locked down and the action to be unloaded while on safe — ideal for youth shooters, navigating difficult terrain, and checking reloaded ammunition.
• Square Bolt Face — Bolt faces are square to the barrel chamber with excellent contact in the recess, contributing directly to consistent accuracy.
• Detachable Magazine Compatible — The hinged floorplate internal magazine system can be converted to a detachable magazine in minutes. Compatible magazines range from 5rd to 10rd. Works on older Howa 1500s, Weatherby Vanguards, Mossberg 1500s, S&W 1500s, and Interarms 1500s in short action calibres (.223 Rem, .204 Ruger, .22-250 Rem, .243 Win, .308 Win & 7mm-08 Rem only).
