Howa 1500

Specifications and Design 
The Howa 1500 GRS Blue Laminated is a bolt-action centrefire rifle built on Howa's proven 1500 action, available in popular calibres including .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor. It features a 26-inch heavy sporter barrel, an overall length of approximately 46 inches, and a magazine capacity of four rounds. 

Advanced Features 
The rifle is fitted with Howa's HACT two-stage trigger, which offers a crisp, consistent pull adjustable between 2.2 lb and 4 lb, reducing unwanted movement at the moment of firing. The cold hammer-forged barrel ensures long-term accuracy and durability. Combined with the stunning Nordic Blue laminated GRS stock chassis, the action delivers repeatable precision across varied field conditions. 

User Experience 
The GRS Nordic Laminated stock provides an adjustable cheekpiece and length of pull, allowing shooters to achieve a consistent and comfortable head position across extended sessions. Owners consistently note reduced fatigue during long days on the hill or range. 

Aesthetics and Build Quality 
The distinctive blue laminated stock is constructed from layered hardwood, offering both visual appeal and resistance to warping in wet conditions — a practical advantage for UK stalking and hill shooting. The contrasting dark metalwork and textured grip panels give the rifle a purposeful, premium appearance. Build quality throughout reflects Howa's reputation for consistency and reliability at this price point.
