The Howa M1500 Super Lite (brand part no. HCSL308XK7-16) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Win and built by Howa on its well-proven M1500 action, known for smooth cycling and a genuinely safe design. A 16.25-inch threaded barrel keeps the rifle compact and suppressor-ready, and a Stocky’s Stock finished in XK7 Kings Camo with black webbing gives it a distinctive, purpose-built look for hunting in the brush. The action features a machined receiver and forged bolt with an integral handle and pressure vent holes, and a reliable M-16 style extractor and ejector keep the rifle cycling cleanly. A Limbsaver recoil pad and flush-fit detachable magazine round out a rifle built to disappear into the pack and perform when needed.
