The bottom line is accuracy and reliability at an affordable price.

Howa rifles outshoot well known rifles costing hundreds of dollars more. Many of our retail dealers say, "The Howa M-1500 is the most accurate rifle I sell, right out of the box." Gun Tests, the independent testing organization for the firearms industry, rates "Howa Lightning most accurate, best trigger pull and most evenly balanced over Remington and Savage."

The American Rifleman states, "Many of the groups pack three shots under 1 1/2," and one group with Winchester ammunition put three shots into .30. Accuracy makes this gun worth a closer look."

Whether you hunt, shoot targets, or just enjoy plinking, the Howa M-1500 has the superior accuracy, rugged durability and dependable quality craftsmanship to get the job done.

Instructions for the NEW 3 Position Safety

The new 3 position safety works the same as the 2 position safety in the first 2 safety positions "ON" and "OFF". In the new 3rd safety position (all the way to the rear), the safety is "ON" and the bolt cannot be opened.

To summarize, the three positions in the new safety are as follows:

1. The safety is "OFF" when the lever (17) is pushed fully forward, uncovering the red indicator dot (18) in the stock.
2. The safety is "ON" when the lever is pushed to the middle position, covering the red indicator dot. The bolt may be opened in this position for safe loading or unloading.
3. The safety is "ON" when the lever is pushed fully rearward, covering the red indicator dot. In this position, the bolt is locked and cannot be opened.

WARNING: Do not screw in trigger guard when bolt is in gun.
