HOWA 1500

Overview

Howa Model 1500 bolt action rifle chambered in .243 WIN. This rifle was made anywhere from 1979 to 2005 in Japan. According to the Customer Service Representative, when Legacy Sports moved from Alexandria, Virginia to Reno, Nevada in December of 2005 the serial numbers from older HOWA rifles did not move with them, so they do not have records of when it was made. However, the barrel is stamped with Reno, NV. The stock is black synthetic, there are some small marks on it. The trap door for the ammunition has some sticky remnants on it but will be easily removed if cleaned. There are a couple scrapes in the stock on the bottom part of the forearm. The barrel has some small light marks. This rifle comes equipped with a Bushnell Banner 3-9x40 Matte Illuminated rifle scope model 713949i, it lights up red or green.
