I know Howa are a budget brand, and their product is built to a price, but I actually like the look of the 1500 action way more than actions of far more expensive rifles. There is nothing I dislike more than those bolt shrouds which attempt to melt the profile of the action and stock together, and as a consequence don't allow you to see the striker position, necessitating some silly little flag (the gun equivalent of an idiot light) with red or white paint on it. Good mechanical design is honest and self-explanatory. If Howa ever refresh or replace the 1500, and keep everything the same except go to a 5-round double-stack stagger-feed mag, and completely rip-off the Ruger M77 Mk2 safety (so go from flush-cocked to flush-decocked for the in-built striker shelf), I'd have one in a heartbeat.

I have heard that the stock fitment isn't always great and can result in the barrel not being floated. That would make some sense if it's basically a Stocky's stock and a Howa barreled action that isn't installed with good QC measures before shipping. I've been tempted to get one but the complaints make me hesitate.

@BoltActionProductions Ай бұрын

@@harrycoureas2427 thanks mate. I’m well aware of these and I can assure you that as much as they work to a degree they also move away from the designed trigger weight of this two stage unit. To the point that in a hunting scenario where there’s a good chance you will slam the bolt closed, especially on a follow up shot, that the lighter springs can cause issues. Hence why I don’t recommend these lighter spring options. Lightly closed bolt in a more target environment, no issues

@mountainsstreams2133 Ай бұрын

Great informative video thanks for sharing mate. I purchased this exact rifle as did my mate. Mine pitched up from the importer with a substantial chunk out of the stocks forend, which another stock was ordered, with the same issue. 3rd stock lucky & I was set, but…, factory crackers wouldn’t feed from the mag. Mialls sorted it but bugger me what a headache… My mates rifle didn’t shoot well (2” best with flyers) & this older fella can shoot, which he does every week at his local range…He tried factories and reloads to no avail! I have owned a few of the ultralight mountain rifles offered around the world & in my opinion the Kimber Hunter is a great pick & its 2.4kg bare. I re-barrelled my 3006 Kimber to a bigger cal with 22” tube…which is hard to top & it’s control round feed with a KISS 3-position safety that can be cleaned in the field with ease. My Kimber Montanas were good but for me a drop-out mag is nicer than a blind-mag. If you want the Kimber Hunter to be lighter there is a gel-insert inside the paddle which lightens it somewhat again… I went the light light way years back & personally, one is probably better off with a Tikka T3 like my 9.3 Battue which weighs 2.6kg bare or basic SS Tikka. Tikkas always feed, shoot & won’t break ya bank too. Just my take with experience as well as working within the firearms industry, but it’s hard to beat a tikka. There is also the meat/steel issue around the chamber, which is like Rob Peter to pay Paul…., and just like my old NULA this Howa is very scaled down. So, in the event of an act of god where the action can let go I’d rather be holding a Tikka over my Howa UL and even the Kimber, but this howa is a classy little rifle if you get a good one. Happy hunting 👍🏻

If the rifle was zeroed spot on for 200yds, which it wasn’t at the time, that was the height to hold for a high shoulder shot. Usually puts them down on the spot. Holding lower with a smaller caliber at that range often gets a runner that is never found in my experience. Anyway we’ll never know 🤪. Thanks for watching 👍
