The Howa Carbon Stalker .300 Win Mag is a magnum hunting rifle built on the Howa M1500 long action with a 24-inch barrel (Howa part no. HCBN300SBTG). The longer barrel helps the .300 Winchester Magnum reach its velocity, which is the point of choosing a magnum. Its carbon fiber stock comes in an FDE and Tungsten finish and keeps the rifle light enough for mountain hunts. This is the configuration for elk, moose and long shots across open country where energy at distance matters.
