Overview
This bolt-action rifle is chambered in .308 Win and set up as a straightforward hunting platform for those who want a practical field rifle with factory scope mounting points. It carries a 23-inch blued barrel, a 42-inch overall length, and a 4+1 magazine capacity, with no magazine, scope, or case included. The matte black finish and noted minor scuff on the barrel blueing indicate light cosmetic wear, so it is best viewed as a ready-to-build hunting rifle rather than a complete out-of-the-box package.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- No scope or sights are included, so it’s set up for optics rather than ready to shoot out of the box.
- No magazines are included; the rifle is listed with a 4+1 capacity, so a compatible magazine will need to be sourced separately.
- Original paperwork and case are not included, which may matter for storage, transfer, or collector preferences.
- There is a small minor scuff on the bluing next to the Howa logo on the left side of the barrel, so this is not a pristine example.
