Howa M1500 — .308 Win, 5+1 | 24" Heavy Barrel | Full-Dip Kryptek® Altitude | Synthetic Stock | Nikko Stirling GamePro 4–16x44mm | Bipod Included | Model HKF73102KAC | UPC 682146321753
Turnkey precision for the field and the range. The Howa M1500 in .308 Winchester pairs a 24" heavy barrel with a rugged full-dip Kryptek® Altitude finish and a weather-tough synthetic stock. Factory-mounted optics come standard with the Nikko Stirling GamePro 4–16x44mm scope, and a bipod is included so you can go from the box to the bench—or the backcountry—without guesswork. With Howa’s proven M1500 action and a trusted .308 Win chambering, this package is built to print tight groups and take on serious hunts.
Why This Howa M1500 Package Stands Out
Heavy 24" barrel for accuracy: The longer, stiff profile helps tame harmonics, maintain velocity, and deliver consistent precision across shot strings.
Do-it-all .308 Winchester: Broad bullet selection and outstanding factory ammo availability make .308 ideal for deer, hogs, and black bear—and for ringing steel from 100 to 800+ yards.
Full-dip Kryptek® Altitude camo: A premium, mountain-ready pattern across the barrel, receiver, and stock sheds glare and blends into rocky, high-altitude terrain.
Durable synthetic stock: Lightweight, stable, and weather-resistant for year-round use in rain, snow, and dust.
Optic included & mounted: The Nikko Stirling GamePro 4–16x44mm scope offers a versatile magnification range and a large objective for bright, clear views at dawn and dusk.
Bipod included: Set up quickly for prone or bench shooting, steadying your sight picture and helping you confirm dope with confidence.
Howa M1500 action: A smooth, two-lug bolt, crisp trigger, and excellent reputation for reliability and accuracy.
Field & Range Advantages
Stable point-of-aim: Heavy-contour barrel and bipod setup help you break clean shots in wind and awkward terrain.
All-weather resilience: Synthetic stock and full-coverage camo finish are easy to wipe down after wet hunts.
Ready on day one: Scope and bipod save you time and money on separate components—just zero and go.
Best Uses
Big-game hunting: Whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn, hogs, and black bear with the right .308 loads.
Range & steel: Validate holds to mid/long range and practice wind calls.
Backcountry trips: Kryptek Altitude pattern and rugged build match alpine conditions.
Setup Tips (Pro Guidance)
Confirm torque: Check base/ring torque to scope and action screws to manufacturer specs before zeroing.
Zero smart: Start with a 100-yard zero; confirm trajectory at 300–600 yards with your chosen hunting load.
Trigger check: Verify a clean, safe trigger pull—keep it within recommended specs for field use.
Bipod technique: Load the bipod slightly (forward pressure) to stabilize recoil and improve shot-to-shot consistency.
Ammo pairing: Try 150–168gr for whitetail-sized game and 165–180gr for heavier animals or longer ranges; record the lot and environmental conditions.
